Life at the Riley family residence felt different from the laid-back atmosphere at Vista Villa. Surrounded by the
Riley family, Linsey made sure to sit up straight, choosing a seat instead of stretching out on the couch. She
watched the room with quiet curiosity.
Noticing Linsey sitting alone, Ivy took it upon herself to settle down beside her and offer sfriendly company.
They chatted for a while, the conversation flowing easily. Soon, Ivy brightened with an idea and opened a nearby
drawer. “You probably haven't gone through our photo albums yet. Letshow you who's who in the family.”

Confusion mixed with a hint of amusement played across Linsey’s face. “I have no idea what you're getting at,
Huntley.”
Only the two of them remained in the garden, the night growing quieter around their unexpected encounter.
