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.

Who was he?

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