Aiden and Ethan had made a pact, a silent agreement forged in the fires of
their shared love for Violet. Whoever she chose, the other would step aside,

reminder of his humiliation. He didn’t need Hannah’s pity. He needed Violet.
Ethan, his jaw clenched tight, his eyes burning with an anger he couldn’t
quite place, pushed past Hannah, his shoulders brushing against hers with a
force that made her flinch.
“Here,” Hannah said, her voice trembling as she placed two glasses of water
on the coffee table.“You must be thirsty. Did you… did you find her? Is Violet
okay?”
She twisted her fingers together, her carefully cultivated composure
cracking under the weight of her anxiety. She’d known, of course,
gone to Seattle. Violet’s absence, the empty silence of the house, the frantic calls
that had gone unanswered… the clues had been impossible to ignore.
But surely, they hadn’t succeeded? Surely, Violet wouldn’t choose a stranger

Ethan’s eyes followed Aiden’s, a cold realization dawning on him. “What do
