Phoebe Faulkner didn't expect to see Jace Lennox sitting on the living room sofa when she walked into the villa. It wasn't the weekend, nor was it after work hours, so when she saw him sitting there, she froze in the doorway.
Jace Lennox heard the door open. Without turning around, he knew who was back.
But the man on the sofa didn't turn around, didn't speak, and didn't even make the slightest movement.
Phoebe Faulkner stood at the door for a moment, then stepped inside.
Since Jace Lennox was ignoring her, she could pretend he didn't exist.
Phoebe went upstairs to her room. After putting her things away, she took out the birthday gift for Robin Morgan, found a gift bag and some ribbon, and sat on her bed to wrap it herself.
She was back.
She had to come back to get the latest news about her big brother and learn about his unknown past.
But coming back didn't mean she forgave Jace Lennox, nor did it mean his deception had never happened.
