I swallow. What does she want?

She's just standing there with a twisted smile on her face.

I'm still fragile from Abby's disappearance and the revelation about Bobby and Sarah, my chest tightens with a mix of anger and dread.

I hand Bobby and Sarah their sandwiches, trying to mask my rising panic. "Stay here with Jayden for a moment," I say, forcing a smile. "I see a friend of ours. I'll be right back." Jayden looks at me, concern etched on his face. "Are you sure?"

I nod, my eyes locked on Ashlyn. "I need to deal with this."

As I approach, Ashlyn's smile widens into a sneer. "Well, how touching," she says, her voice dripping with venom. "The pathetic ex-wife came to make peace, no doubt." "What are you doing here, Ashlyn?" I ask, trying to keep my voice steady, but the quiver betrays me.
