Greta sat in her sleek black car, mirror angled toward her face. She dragged the tube of crimson lipstick slowly across her mouth, pressing her lips together with a small pout. A fingertip smoothed the curve of her cupid's bow, then she checked herself from a few different angles. Perfect. She tossed the lipstick back into her bag, ran a hand over her hair, and stepped out like she owned the pavement.

The lobby's hum changed instantly. Heads turned, conversations faltered.

"Isn't that?" a woman near the elevator whispered.

"The movie star?" another finished under her breath.

Greta gave them a polite but knowing smile, letting her heels click deliberately against the polished floor as she crossed to the reception desk.

"I'm here to see Travis Hale," she said, voice smooth enough to melt glass.

Moments later, she was walking into his office.

"Greta," Travis said, glancing up from his desk, his tone measured. "I wasn't expecting you."

"You never do," she replied, closing the door behind

    Greta leaned one manicured hand against the doorframe, sunglasses sliding down the bridge of her nose."Alice," she purred, drawing out the name as though tasting it. "Ready for lunch?"Alice stepped out, closing the door behind her. "Give me a second to lock up."Greta's eyes flicked past her shoulder. "No Travis today?" she asked, voice dipping into that silky register."He's busy," Alice said, twisting the key until it clicked."Mm." Greta's smile curved. "Still the workaholic, I see. Does he ever take a break? For you, I mean?"Alice glanced at her, expression unreadable. "We manage just fine.""Because I remember…" Greta tilted her head, lips curling as if recalling a private joke. "He used to hate letting me out of his sight."Alice smoothed her bag strap over her shoulder. "Times change."Greta's laugh was low, deliberate. "Do they?""They do," Alice said, brushing past her toward the car. "Or some people just get left behind."Greta followed, the click of her heels sharp again

    "Greta?" Mason was the first to speak, half-rising from his chair with a grin that bordered on boyish. "Well, look who decided to remember we exist."Greta Sinclair removed her sunglasses with a deliberate flick, the faintest smile touching her lips. "Mason Vale. Still talking too much, I see."He laughed. "And you're still… intimidating as hell.""Charming, as always," she replied, stepping closer. Her coat fell open just enough to reveal the kind of sleek black dress that didn't need a single accessory to make a statement.Liam was already on his feet. "No way. Absolutely no way." He moved in for a hug without hesitation. "You look wow.""Fabulous," Greta supplied smoothly, allowing the embrace before leaning back. "I'm aware.""You disappear for five years-""Six," she corrected."-and come back looking like this?"Her smile didn't waver. "I take my work seriously."Christian had stood by now, waiting his turn. "You've been impossible to reach.""I've been busy," Greta said, her to

    "Tell me again," Mason said, swirling his straw through the ice in his drink, "how you managed to convince Travis to take an actual lunch break."Alice smiled over the rim of her glass. "I didn't. I just told him I'd be here, and he showed up.""Manipulation at its finest," Liam said with a grin. "You're learning."Travis arched a brow at him. "Careful, Parket.""What? I'm just impressed," Liam said, lifting his hands in mock surrender. "Most of us have been trying for years to get you to join us for one of these without bailing for a meeting.""I like lunch with my wife," Travis said simply, as if that explained everything.His lips curving faintly. "You're the only one I tune in for."Alice smiled. "That's cheesy.""True," he said, eyes holding hers a moment longer than necessary. "But you smiled anyway.""Oh my God," Liam groaned, throwing his napkin on the table. "Get a room."Michael pointed his fork at them. "This is worse than Mason flirting with her.""I'm not flirting," Mason

    The restaurant wasn't overly crowded, just busy enough for the low hum of conversations to feel like background music. Soft golden lighting made the polished tables glow, and the scent of roasted garlic and fresh bread drifted between them like an unspoken invitation.Travis sat across from Alice, his jacket draped over the back of his chair. He leaned forward, forearms resting on the table, watching her with the kind of attention that made her cheeks warm even though she told herself she was used to it by now."You're smiling too much," he teased, a faint smirk playing at his lips."I'm allowed to," Alice replied, cutting into her pasta. "You know, for once, I don't feel like I'm pretending."His brow softened. "You've never been good at pretending. You were just… surviving."She nodded slowly, the fork pausing mid-air. "Exactly. I used to wake up and wonder if I'd make it through the day. Now I just… wake up." Her smile widened. "And you're there."Travis reached over and brushed hi

    "Octavia Willis, please.""She's coming."The guard's voice was flat, but Alice's heart skipped all the same. She sat in the cold metal chair, hands clasped in her lap, eyes fixed on the door. The walls around her were blank, white, and humming faintly from the overhead lights.Footsteps echoed in the hallway. Then the door opened.Octavia stepped inside, her movements restricted by the canvas of a straitjacket, the sleeves cinched tight across her chest. Her hair was longer than Alice remembered, but dull and uneven as if she'd cut it herself with dull scissors. Her eyes, though—her eyes were the same. Sharp. Searching. Full of something between hatred and hunger."Well," Octavia said, her voice low and steady, "look who came to visit the madwoman."Alice kept her voice calm. "I came because we need to talk."Octavia tilted her head. "Talk. After all this time. That's rich." She crossed the room with slow, deliberate steps and sat across from Alice, the straitjacket creaking faintly.
