Catching sight of him, Tristan ended his routine, wiped his brow with a towel handed over by a maid, and waved everyone else out of the room.

"There was a fire at Mr. Patrick's diner a few days ago. The blaze wasn't huge, but the whole family-three of them-died from smoke inhalation."

Tristan slammed his cup down, coffee splashing. He knew instantly this was no accident.
