Chapter 237

Zane walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window. The lights in the yard were on, casting a calm, serene glow. He dialed Rowena's number.

Zane decided it was best to give Rowena a heads-up now. He didn't want her to make things difficult for Annalise if he eventually ended up with her. Rowena curiously asked, "Why are you calling so late? What's going on?"
