Elodie's breath caught, and she shot Ivan a sharp look.
Her gaze shifted to Jarrod, who stood off to the side, his expression as distant as ever. Whatever had just passed between her and Ivan, Jarrod couldn't have cared less.
But Elodie noticed-perhaps it was the word "wife" that Ivan had just used.
For the briefest moment, Jarrod's brow twitched.
Before he could speak, his phone buzzed again. He glanced at the screen: Sylvie calling. He answered, his whole demeanor softening. "Yeah, I'll be home soon."
The change in his face, the gentle tone in his voice-it was impossible for Elodie not to notice.
He didn't bother responding to Ivan. Just gave him a curt nod, then looked at Elodie for a fleeting second before striding away with long, purposeful steps.
As if Elodie had never meant a thing to him.
She didn't need to guess who had called. Only Sylvie could make him drop his guard like that.
Elodie slowly looked away. Standing at the center of it all, no one felt Jarrod and Ivan's thinly veiled mockery more acutely than she did.
After the way Ivan had spoken to her, the last ember of hope for his help flickered out.
Without another word, Elodie turned and left.
