“Sorry, what were you saying, Darling?”

Her frown deepened.

“I’m going inside with Matt,” she snapped, her eyes dark with anger. She turned away and started to walk inside with Matt beside her. Ethan’s face paled when he realized his mistake.

I honestly thought Walter went back inside while Ethan and I were having that stare–down. I was surprised and maybe even a little startled to see that he was still here with me.

Even though I just met him, there was a part of me that trusted Walter. But I didn’t think I should tell him the truth about Ethan and me because I’m not sure how close he was to Irene.
