At the end of the corridor, two women stood facing each other, enveloped in an unusual atmosphere. Josie lowered her head and spoke first, “Mrs. Hadey, I apologize for ruining Summer’s birthday banquet that day.”

Claudia examined her closely, unable to accept the fact that this soft-spoken woman before her was her daughter’s rival in love and Dexter’s wife.
