Her look was nothing like, Taylor's. Taylor's smile always carried an edge, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. With Amber, I'd felt her hostility the moment we met.

It was the same now. Her gaze was direct and without apology, as though she already saw me as a ghost.

I pointed in her direction, trying to keep my voice casual. "Carl, look. Amber's here too. What a coincidence.

Carter glanced at her. Her face had returned to its usual icy indifference. But when she looked at Carter, there was a faint trace of warmth in her eyes. For a moment, I wondered if I'd imagined how she had looked at me.

I pushed Carter toward her, feeling relieved that Zoey had gone to handle the kittens' transport.

If Amber was involved in my death, I needed to keep my distance from Zoey.

She smiled, her tone casual. Just got off the plane. Didn't expect to run into you.

Who was he?

Carter was the first to ask. "What did she say to you?"

I told him everything. "The last time I was doing the dishes, Amber asked where the stone came from and where the other one was: Carl, are there two of these stones?"

hesitated, likely not wanting to lie to me. "Yeah, there are two. Like jadeite. You can
