GoodReadDeparting from the study, Quinn trailed behind Kyle Astor, descending the staircase to partake in their evening
meal.
She found herself perched at the table, her movements mechanical as she consumed her food. Her gaze was
distant, lost in sfar-off thought.
Observing her, Kyle Astor's brow furrowed in consternation. The task of safeguarding an uninhabited house was
indeed akin to a torturous ordeal.
After a few mouthfuls, Quinn shook her head, indicating her lack of appetite. Once Kyle had cleared the remnants
of their meal and retreated, the grandeur of the villa was once again enveloped in silence, leaving Quinn in
solitude. She sank into the plush comfort of the sofa, her fingers dancing over the TV remote as she settled on a
cartoon channel.
A nagging sensation tugged at her, hinting at a forgotten detail, yet she couldn't pinpoint what it was. She
remained silent, her eyes glued to the television screen, awaiting Alexander's customary return. Her fever
persisted, her mind clouded in a haze of confusion.
Abruptly, the sound of her phone chiming broke the silence. She snatched it from the couch, her eyes scanning a
message from Quinn.
[Quinn, I've arrived in France.] The simplicity of the words sent her spiraling into deep contemplation.
She replied: [When did you leave?]

Quinn paused, still bewildered. [When did you leave Amber Bay? Why didn't you tell me?]This time, it was

Several minutes ticked by before she responded.[Quinn, what's going on with you?]Her question only served to
further muddle Quinn's thoughts.
She typed back, [What do you mean?]Abigail's brows knitted together in concern, her doubts growing about the
identity of the person on the other end of the line. Why would she ask when I left Amber Bay?
After a moment of silence, Abigail finally responded, [Don't you remember what happened before?]Quinn's
fingers hovered over the screen. She closed her eyes, straining to recall recent events, but Abigail's departure
was a blank in her memory.
Quinn: [What happened?]Abigail hesitated, wary of divulging information to a potential imposter.So, she brushed
it off with, [It's nothing. It must be late where you are, you should get srest.] From then on, Abigail didn't
respond to Quinn's messages.
Quinn reclined on her couch, her eyes
scanning her conversation with
Abigail. All previous messages had
