Chapter 15

After hanging up. Thalia carefully reviewed the evening’s events.

Why had Sienna sneaked into her room during her shower? Certainly not just to “look around” as she’d

claimed.

Thalia surveyed her room meticulously. Besides the shattered figurine, everything seemed untouched.

Then her eyes fell on the glass of warm milk on her nightstand.

She always had warm milk before bed–Rosa had brought it up before her shower.

The Beagle had been on that same nightstand.

If Sienna broke the figurine, she must have lingered near the nightstand.

Asher arrived in New York three hours later.

When he called, he was already heading toward Riverside Manor.

Thalia was busy throwing bags of sorted belongings into the dumpsters outside the house.

“I’m not staying here tonight, Asher.” She continued walking back to the house–she had more to dispose

of, and it was too late to bother Rosa.

Asher simply said, “Alright.”

“Have you booked your hotel?”

He named a five–star property.

“I’ll book a room there too. Let’s meet at the hotel–no need to come here.”

She planned to clear everything tonight and leave this house behind.

Time to say goodbye to Drake too.
