River Sterling glanced at Linden Jennings, whose expression had darkened. He quickly tried to change the subject, forcing a laugh. "Ah, well, let's get going. No reason to hang around a hospital. Uh, Linden and I both drove, so Clara, you and Seth..."
As he spoke, he shot Clara Grant and Seth Quinn a meaningful look. The three of them started walking toward the cars. Linden Jennings watched them go for a moment before finally heading to his own vehicle.
Once they were a good distance away from Linden Jennings, River Sterling lowered his voice. "Clara, it seems like Poppy and Linden have been fighting. She's been off the grid for a while now. So, it's best if you don't bring up Poppy around him for the time being. Otherwise... well, you saw the look on his face just now."
Seth Quinn's reaction was fairly neutral, but Clara Grant was stunned. "Why are they fighting? Is it that serious?"
'No wonder Linden Jennings was acting so strange. So it's because he and Poppy are fighting.'
