His expression darkened dangerously. "That's rich, coming from you. Should we discuss your cozy lunch with Nathan last week? Or perhaps your little dance with Christopher?"

"Oh, you're right," I replied, my voice honey-sweet with mockery. "Maybe I should post those moments on Instagram too. I'm sure Elizabeth would love to see everything that's happening in the Shaw family's perfect little world."
