She was ready for him. “Recognition.”
“That you’re London?”
“Yes.”
Jason’s smile was so cold, Zachary felt a moment’s concern for Adria. “You know we don’t believe you.”
“I expected it, yes.”
“And you know that there have been hundreds of young women who have claimed to be our half-sister.”
She didn’t bother answering, but her eyes never left Jason’s face.
“She says she has proof,” Zach interjected, uncomfortable with Jason’s arrogant attitude.
“Proof?” Jason’s eyebrows raised and a muscle tightened in his jaw.
“I have a tape.”
“A tape of—?”
“It’s from my adoptive father. It explains what happened.”
Jason looked at his brother. “You’ve seen it?”
“Not yet.”
“Well, what’re we waiting for? I assume you have it with you, Miss Nash.”
“In my purse.” She reached for the purse near her feet.
Zach stuffed his hands in his pockets. “Don’t you think we should wait until Nelson and Trisha are here?”
“Why?”

Opening the plastic cover, Jason asked, “Is this the only copy?”
Adria slanted him a glance that told him to quit acting as if she didn’t have a brain in her head. “Of course not.”
“Didn’t think so.” Jason stared at the videocassette, flipped it over, and slipped it onto the corner of the desk. “Everything on this tape can be verified, right? If there’s any question of legality, there would be documents to back it up.”
“Such as?”
“Adoption papers, that sort of thing.”
“The papers were destroyed.”
Jason’s lips twitched. “Destroyed?”
“By a fire.”
“Convenient.”
“I don’t think so.”
For a reason he couldn’t explain, Zach stepped in. “There must be copies filed with the start.”
