"Not at all," Austin replied. "It's all I've ever wanted for her."

She nodded and strolled back into the room. This time though, she perched herself on the armrest and gave him a sidelong glance. "About Iris…are you really going to look into her death?"

"I promised Anna I would," he said. "It's been on my mind for a long time now. And maybe she's right about finding out the truth. Maybe it will finally close our wounds. Why do you ask?"
