How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue
Chapter 26
Elodie turned and met Jarrod's somber gaze. His long fingers were pinching a folded report, and a knot tightened in her chest. Without thinking, she snatched it from his hand.
"You read it?" she demanded.
Jarrod's eyes lingered on her pale face. "Why are you so nervous?"
He explained, calm as ever, "I saw it fall out of your pocket when I walked in. Picked it up, but didn't look at it."
Elodie breathed a shallow sigh of relief, regaining her composure. "You're reading too much into it, Mr. Silverstein."
Jarrod studied her for a moment. "You've been calling me 'Mr. Silverstein' a lot lately, Elodie."
She tucked the report back into her purse. "Was there something you needed?"
She didn't bother explaining; Sylvie had brought this up just the other day, after all. And besides, they were getting divorced-calling him Mr. Silverstein was more appropriate now.
"Are you feeling alright?" Jarrod's cold gaze swept over her, an unusual hint of concern in his voice.
But Elodie knew better. His concern wasn't real. She'd just witnessed how anxious he'd been over Sylvie catching a simple cold. His polite inquiry was just that— politeness, nothing more.

"It's nothing serious. I was just visiting my uncle," she answered coolly, out of courtesy.
