“I'm fine, Mom. Don’t worry,” Faye said quickly, trying to soothe her.
Georgie’s tone shifted to frustration. “What were you thinking, going to a bar alone to drink? What happened?
Did someone upset you? Was it Lucas?”
“No, no one upset me,” Faye...
replied. “Uncle Lucas and Belinda have both been great to me. I'm okay, really. | just... felt like having a drink,
that’s all. Please don’t make it a big deal.”
Georgie exhaled heavily, her voice turning cold. “Tell Lucas to callthe second you're home.”
“Mom, |I—" Faye started, but Georgie cut her off.
“Just do as | say!” Georgie snapped, hanging up before Faye could say more.
With no other option, Faye passed the message along. “Uncle Lucas, my mother said you need to call her when
we get home.”
Lucas’ expression didn’t flicker. He responded coolly, “Okay.”
After a brief silence, his tone grew frigid again. “Why did you go drinking alone tonight? And at a bar, of all

Everything that happened before was my fault. | was thoughtless and caused you both trouble. | promise I'll

This was a tricky situation handed to Belinda. Silence had been her plan. But Faye, perched in the back seat, had
turned the conversation toward her with a question that demanded an answer, shattering her hopes of staying
quiet.
Swiveling her head just enough to catch Faye’s gaze in the rearview mirror, Belinda forced a soft smile. “Faye, |
see how you've been carrying this guilt about my injury. You think it’s your fault, and that’s why you've been
wanting to take care of me. | get it, truly.”
After a pause, she continued, “But I'm fine now. You don’t need to take care ofanymore. And let's be real—
crashing at my place, sleeping on that guest bed, it's not comfortable for you. There's no way it feels as cozy as
your own room, right? So Lucas and I, we've talked it over. We think it’s tfor you to move back to the family
residence. It's for your own good, Faye.” Her tone stayed warm.
