Irwin rushed over to Briony, arms outstretched, eager for a hug. But Briony smoothly stepped aside, avoiding him without missing a beat.

Stella quickly intercepted, pulling Irwin away. "Hey, quiet down! Bryn's on the phone," she chided.

"Do you still want the bracelet?"

She glanced at Irwin, her voice cooling. "You take care of it."

"Will do!" James sounded noticeably more cheerful.
