They didn't have a plan after leaving the hospital. So they all ended up at Natalie's house and spent a large part of their Saturday evening going over Colleen's case.Natalie thought it would be better if they all worked backwards and tried to piece together everything about Colleen's disappearance from there."Okay, so November 5th is her last known sighting," Emily said from her place on the floor at Natalie's feet as she rapidly ran her hands on the keys of her MacBook.Levi didn't like the idea that she and Natalie were already so heavily invested in searching for his twin, especially with their close ties to Dreams. The last thing he wanted was to put them in danger. But he didn't have the heart to tell them they were not on the case. So he watched the two of them plot out a neat timeline on a PowerPoint presentation."Before that, it was October 28th, at Smiths Town," Natalie said. She seemed utterly absorbed with their slide. It was almost as if he, Mark and Seth weren't even

Ten minutes before they were supposed to leave, everyone excused themselves to give Natalie some alone time with her siblings, and she spent the whole time crying over their shoulders while she hugged them.The weekend had flown by too quickly, and she wished she could stay longer. But she had work tomorrow."Nat," Amber said sternly. "You can't keep crying every time you come home. We'll be fine.""I know," Natalie said as she brushed away her tears. "But I should be here, looking after you guys.""That's what the nurses are for," Jamie said reasonably, barely looking up from his laptop. He was still fixated on the issues Levi had pointed out in his code."Besides, we'll have a caregiver when we leave here in a few days," Amber reminded her.Knowing they'd be in good hands throughout their recovery was the only reason Natalie was able to return to Rock Union somewhat relieved.She kissed them on their foreheads, and before she could slip out of the ward, Amber stopped her."He's a go

"Yes, she's alive, living an unassuming life," Aunt Viv replied at last."That's great. I'm so relieved," Natalie nodded and released a shaky sigh, her eyes shimmering brightly with tears.Aunty Viv clutched her hand tightly. "Promise me you'll stop looking into Jewel. Some roads lead to nowhere good, Noelle. Jewel is one of those roads.""But—" Natalie tried to say.Aunty Viv quickly cut her off, though. "No buts, Noelle! Drop this business about Jewel and leave the fucking client list alone. I won't have this chat with you again. The backers wanted you to know they've allowed you to keep your life because there are no names on that list. But if you do anything crazy again, no one can stop them from coming after you."Aunty Viv stood up, threw on her infamous leopard print coat and picked up her clutch before she drained her martini and sashayed out of the room.Terrified out of her head, Natalie ran to the bathroom and locked herself in one of the stalls.She quickly pulled out her

They were discussing Vivienne Lume—Seth had finally figured out her surname from the clothing boutique invoice—when Natalie came in, dressed in one of his shirts.Mark and Seth hugged her after scolding her for her stunt earlier."Guys, I'm okay!" she assured them. "I'm not made of glass."Levi's anger eased some when his eyes travelled down her small frame appreciatively. She really seemed to have a thing for his clothes, specifically his shirts. But he wasn't complaining. They looked good on her, and he loved that even when she was upset with him, she still wanted him close to her.His stomach flip-flopped when he remembered her words earlier about wanting to be his person. How could she even think she wasn't?"I'll just sit in. I won't work the case," Natalie mumbled as she leaned on the doorframe and crossed her arms.Levi stared at her, convinced she was testing his patience. The earnestness in her eyes, though, softened the knot in his heart, and he found himself nodding."Great

Angela was waiting for Levi at Rise after he left his parents, and they spent an unnecessarily long time trying to decide what to get Natalie for lunch."What does she like?" Angela asked."Ice cream, pizza and wine, Alfredo pasta and mutton curry," he rattled off everything Amber had told him, happy to put his gruelling confrontation with his parents aside and focus on something mundane, like ordering lunch for his girlfriend.He knew he'd have to deal with all their revelations at some point, but until Linda Swartz's receptionist got back to him, he'd have to neatly compartmentalise his feelings in a mental box and try not to peek inside."—Well, they don't sell any of that, sir," Angela informed him as she looked through the menu. "How about a chocolate croissant or a bran muffin?"Levi looked at her doubtfully, but agreed, adding a few more items."We'll be working on the third floor today," he told her as they made their way to the office."I don't think that's a good idea," Ange
