The moment he opened the door, a subtle, fresh fragrance greeted him-some brand of air freshener he couldn't identify.

Alistair's profoundly dark mood eased ever so slightly.

"You're back?" A voice called from within the house.

Alistair froze as he was changing his shoes by the cabinet in the

A warm feeling washed over Alistair's heart. When people truly cared about you, they noticed even the slightest change in your

behavior.

First it was Eloise, and now Caroline...

It was precisely what a family should be like. Even though they weren't actually related by blood, they had still made room for him in their hearts.

"I was thinking about what happened years ago... something just doesn't seem right," Alistair said.
