But I knew Tanya wouldn’t actually drink it. She had worked too hard, clawing her way toward wealth and status. If she didn’t give up after that hospital fiasco, there was no way she’d quit now. This was just another ploy to get Lindey to spill about Jace. 

Tanya probably thought Lindey and Matthew were hiding him, keeping them apart on purpose. 

“Tanya Twain, your games are getting real creative,” I said, stepping into the room. 

Lindey spun around, panic flashing across her face. 

oked terrified I’d get the wrong idea.
