Melvin gave a quiet nod.
With their conversation over, Melvin headed back to his own room on the floor below.
If Freya was the beacon that lit his way forward, then Jessica was the steady, loyal presence walking right beside
him. She was three years younger than him and Gerard—having skipped two grades in elementary school and
one in middle school, she had been the youngest in their class.
After graduation, the boys went off to Alerith University while she studied abroad. Over the years, they had
crossed paths now and then, but their hectic lives always pulled them apart.
Her sudden appearance this thad definitely caught him off guard.

Roland paused. “You found someone?”
“I've got a target. But | need to quit if | want to go after him.” Jessica thought of Melvin’s calm, reserved face,
and the corners of her lips curved upward. “He’s slow to open up and doesn’t talk much. So I'll have to take the

Roland frowned. “Is this guy even reliable?”
“Absolutely,” Jessica said confidently.
“What's his name? Where's he from? Where does he work?” Roland was already in full dad-interrogation mode.
“Sendhis details. I'm running a background check.”
