Accusation
Rosie wanted their grandmother, Tessa Harper, to see Brenna as nothing but trouble-a reckless, inconsiderate woman who didn't belong in the family. If she could paint Brenna in a bad light from the start, it would be much easier to do away with her.

Luther nodded quickly, his voice warm with affection. "Good girl, you've been through so much. But don't worry; you are home now. Oh, look at you, so thin! We need to make sure you're eating properly from now on."
