She watched him leave, her mind slipping with possibilities. She’d seen the way Hannah looked at Ethan when he wasn’t noticing. A mix of desire and guardedness that screamed secrets. Nothing intrigued her more than a well-kept secret.

What are you doing here Jack?” Ethan asked, arching his brow in confusion.“You don’t know?” Jack replied, an amused grin appearing on his lips.

She still couldn’t believe that Liam was standing in front of her.
