Chapter 860

Clara didn't bother letting her thoughts drift—her headache was pounding too hard for that. She called Dylan right away. He answered, but the silence on the other end was thick, almost heavy.

"I went back to my hometown and remembered a few things, but there's still nothing concrete. Didn't you say you'd be heading to the Ferguson family in North America next month? Dylan, I want to go with you. I'm heading to Palm Bay now -when you're done, just come pick me up."

He was quiet for so long she checked if the call had dropped. Finally, his voice came through, low and raw. "If you still want to by then."

He'd said stuff like that before.

Clara knew he was struggling-so much that he probably thought she could leave him at any second.

She took a deep breath. "I do want to. But you have to promise me you'll come back."

She figured he'd gone to see the old man-the only person who could mess with Dylan this much. Up until now, she'd always thought she was the most important thing in Dylan's world.

But maybe there was something else he cared about, something she'd never guessed.
