Since dinner, she hadn’t left this room.

In the darkness, everything was chaos–bathroom, windowsill, couch, vanity… She didn’t dare look and definitely avoided the rumpled bed.

Claudia was speechless.
She’d just been teasing, but he actually took it seriously.
Earlier this morning …
She curled back under the covers.
The two of them, with night and day completely flipped, didn’t get up until evening to wash up and eat. On the living room couch, Sterling handed her a manila folder.
He hugged her gently, a hint of worry in his voice.
“Zoey’s death wasn’t an accident.”
Six months before the incident, she’d discovered she had cancer.
After that, Zoey–who had always hated seeing Lottie happy–suddenly started spending a lot of time with the Lancasters.
She showed an unusual affection for Claudia, her favoritism obvious to everyone.
Lottie assumed she’d finally moved on after her divorce and was glad Zoey had let go of her old grudges.
The sisters‘ relationship had never been so harmonious.
