Whenever Garry contacted her, it was never without a very specific agenda.

Briony had long since learned not to get her hopes up when Garry mentioned "good news."

Her voice was cool. "Just say what you want, Garry."

Briony's breath caught. "Garry, this isn't something to joke about. Don't even try."

Garry heaved a theatrical sigh. "Seems like you really don't trust me at all, Ms. Kensington."

Briony's heart pounded in her chest, her grip tightening around the phone. "Is Star really with you?"

"I have no reason to lie."

Briony's eyes stung, her voice trembling. "Is she... is she alright?"
