Chapter 1: Claire’s POV

It didn’t take long to recognize the ringtone I heard and understand what was happening in that moment.
That was Charlotte’s ringtone.
Charlotte was my husband Leonardo’s childhood sweetheart, and she had made a habit of calling my husband to her side at every opportunity even in the most impromptu hours of the night.
