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.
