Of course, the number she dialed wasn’t the one that

Keira usually used.

What Isla didn’t know was that Keira had several

then looked around at the others, her eyes turning slightly red. “I know, maybe you all think I’ve been too aggressive today, but I just don’t want my aunt to lead a life interrupted by a third party like my mother did.
