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.

I quickly texted Zoey, asking her to take a different route.

"Amber, what are you doing here?" Carter asked.

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

To keep things light, I mentioned our earlier conversation. "Amber, I've been thinking about what you said, You mentioned there's another stone-where is it?"

Amber quickly interrupted, "Oh, I must have been mistaken. I just said that offhand. Didn't think she'd remember. Are you two heading home? How about a quick meal before you go?" "Maybe another time," Carter replied, his voice polite. We got in the car, and Amber seemed to leave without a hint of suspicion.

I watched as she got into a sleek black car. The door opened, and I saw a man inside, wearing a platinum. ring.

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?"
