Everyone was chatting about Edwin, their voices easing into casual tones, purposefully skirting around the recent incident.

“Let’s change the subject,” Hannah said, turning to her friend.

Lydia let out an exasperated sigh and playfully punched Brayden’s shoulder.

“The Davies-Mitchell collaboration has been my focus, but lately, things with the Mitchell family…”
