Belinda sighed and glanced toward him, her lips forming a subtle pout. “He sees things the way you do. He does
not believe Faye could be behind anything like that. Based on how...”
“Well, he knows her, and he thinks she is incapable of doing something that malicious. He was also pretty upset
with me. He hated that | kept the matter from him. | promised him that from now on, | would never keep
anything from him again.”
Bethany leaned forward, resting her elbows casually on the table. “Honestly, letting Lucas in on this might not be

Bethany’s brow creased slightly as she replied, “Regardless, Faye’s emotions toward Lucas are tangled. It's a mix
of familial devotion and something more intense, hard to pin down.”
Belinda chimed in, softly recounting the events of that particular evening. “The night Lucas urged Faye to return
to the family home, she went off alone to a bar and drank heavily. After that...”
