When the Family 57

Chapter 57 Reunited

For a split second, Jean’s heart pounded like a drum

She locked eyes with Ludwig. And just for that one beat, she was sure–absolutely sure—he’d figured it out.

He knew she wasn’t the real Jean.

He smiled faintly, his sharp, cool eyes softening under the glow of the streetlights.

Ludwig scratched the back of his head. He looked relaxed, even a little amused.

“I don’t know little things, maybe,” he said, glancing toward her thoughtfully, “Like how you clench your fingers when you’re nervous. Stuff like that.”

Jean froze.

Was that something she actually did? She had no memory of it.

It was probably one of those unconscious habits, something buried in the body’s muscle memory. Things you don’t even realize you’re doing unless someone points it out.

Ludwig had noticed.

He was watching her that closely.

Jean lowered her eyes. Her lips pressed into a thin line
