The girl stiffened at her voice. Slowly, she lifted her head—eyes puffy, cheeks streaked with tears. She saw Rhea and Jace, then turned away with a bitter sob.

“What are you doing here?” she croaked. “Did you come to gloat?”

Rhea inched closer. “Of course not—”

The girl suddenly turned on Jace, voice cracking. “Dr. Jace, just leave! Seeing you… it hurts. I want to talk to her. Alone. Please.”

As soon as he disappeared, the girl deflated. She wiped her cheeks with trembling hands. Rhea sat beside her and offered a handkerchief.
