Gorman's words slammed into Caylee like a freight train, her eyes popping wide in utter shock.

She shot a quick glance at Gorman, who gave off a cool, careless vibe, before her gaze darted back to Linsey's, brimming with a hollow despair that stole the air from Caylee's lungs.

Gorman, cool as a cucumber, didn't miss a beat and breezed out of the room, his steps practically bouncing.

The hotel room fell quiet, holding just Linsey, Caylee, and the tiny Zander nestled in Linsey's arms.
