"Isn't this guy into Liliana? Why does he keep bothering me?" Amara muttered to herself, staring at the message
she wanted to delete. Just as she was about to do it, she hesitated and instead typed back, "I'm still awake.
What's up?"
No sooner had she sent the message, her phone buzzed with an incoming call from Finnian. She looked at the
vibrating phone for a moment before answering, keeping silent. Oddly enough, Finnian didn't speak either. The
silence stretched between them, the faint hum of the call the only indication it was connected.
Amara bit her lip, ready to end the call when Finnian's voice finally broke through the quiet, "Why are you still up
so late?"
"Not tired. Something on your mind, Mr. Everly?"
Finnian hesitated, the words "I just miss you" teetering on the edge of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
Standing by his window, he looked out into the still night and said, "Just wanted to remind you to bundle up. It's
getting colder, and you'll need to wear something warmer during the day."
The randomness of his words puzzled Amara. She frowned, replied, "I know," and hung up. Clearly, Finnian had
no real reason to call. In the middle of the night, it was just a whim, but she had thought he might mention the
with Elysia and Dorian. If she had known, she wouldn't have bothered responding.

The next day, word of the fiasco at Jessica's birthday party spread like wildfire. It was bad news for the Moon and
Hawke families, and not great for the Bishop family either. Sure, it seemed like the Bishops might have forged a
connection with the Hawkes, but they had also offended the Moons.
So, silence fell over all three families. No one cforward to clarify anything.
Dorian and Elysia's marriage had hit a standstill, plunged into a cold war. They still lived under the sroof but
ignored each other, retreated to separate bedrooms, and avoided dining together Life just carried on in this
limbo. s
A few days later, Amara arranged to meet Elysia for lunch, and they ran into Hogan at the restaurant.
If Amara had a list of people she couldn't stand, Hogan would definitely be in the top three. Seeing him now
made her day feel unlucky. She quickly pulled Elysia to a table as far from Hogan as possible.
Hogan noticed Amara too, his eyes fixated on her for an uncomfortably long time.
A lot had happened recently. He'd

These thoughts had kept Hogan up at night, tossing and turning.
Lost in his thoughts, Hogan found himself walking over to Amara and Elysia's table, stopping right beside them,
his eyes fixed on Amara.
