“I’m glad you’re here.” This time he did look at her, but his eyes were heavy lidded. “I’m just so tired.”
“I’m sure you are.” She pushed the hair back out of his face. “Rest.”
“Trina?”
“I’ll be back tomorrow,” she promised as she stood. “So will Justin and Martin and many other people, I’m sure.”
“Not many,” he mumbled before drifting to sleep.
“Not many, huh?” she asked quietly, knowing she wouldn’t get an answer. With tears still in her eyes, she left the room, pulling the door nearly shut before walking towards the elevators. She checked her phone, which she’d turned back on to message Justin, and noticed that her brother had texted her back.

Emily Torrence.
And she couldn’t help the words that escaped her lips.
“What the actual fuck?”
CHAPTER 8
“What the actual fuck?”
Those were Justin’s first words after Katrina blurted out her findings the moment she arrived at her brother’s home.
“I said the exact same thing,” Katrina replied, then thanked him as he handed her an open beer. “How well does this go with cocktail shrimp? Never mind, I’m starving.”
“What did I miss?” Judith asked as she walked out into the living room with the serving tray of shrimp cocktail in her hands.
“Emily is friends with Lorenzo on Facebook,” Justin informed her.
