Nancy quickly stood up to fetch it, seizing the moment to slip a small pill from her pocket. But as she held it, hesitation gripped her, and she remained frozen for a long while.

"Thank you," Connor said politely, expressing his gratitude to the butler before guiding Faye into the living

room.

Faye hesitated near the doorway, peeking inside at Jasper, who was perched on the sofa.

A hint of unease filled her eyes-she worried that her brother might not accept her. Even more than that, she feared that Kelly and Zev would treat her the way her parents had, casting her aside now that they had another child.
