How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 102

Chapter 101

Elodie immediately sensed Sylvie's gaze on her-warm, almost amused. That look made her feel exposed, as if a spotlight had landed on her in a darkened theater.

Grady's face darkened a shade. "Esmeralda, that's out of line. I just admire Ms. Fielding. That's all."
