Naturally, I thought he would be the only sane one that would listen to me, but Lily suddenly spoke up after being oddly quiet all this time. "Clara, don't be scared. Just admit what you did, and I'm sure that they'll let you off with a slap on the wrist..." She turned to the man; "please, could you at least let her go? She's homeless and doesn't even have a single penny on her... The only reason she did this was because she was desperate and had nobody in the entire world to rely on then–"

*Correcting something. He thought about the way she'd timed her approach to table six. The way she'd taken his introduction to Richard Lau without missing a beat — not surprised, not grateful in any excessive way, just calm and ready, like she'd already known who Lau was and had simply been handed a shorter route to him. The way she'd moved through that room like someone who knew exactly what they were there for. He picked up his phone. --- Clara was in the library when it rang. Third floor, the quiet section, textbooks spread across the desk in front of her with her notes slotted between pages the way she'd been doing since she was twelve. She saw the name, looked at it for a second, then p

she said. Jade looked at the book. Then at Dorothy. Dorothy waved a hand without looking up. "She'll grow into it," Dorothy said. Jade looked at the title. Looked at me. The title was something about a woman who had to choose between two versions of her life. I stared at it. Clara put it carefully in the bag she carried that contained, as far as anyone could tell, various important rocks and one very old crayon. Jade caught my eye.

"I'll—I'll go find her." The librarian smiled knowingly. "Take your time. The books will still be here." Clara nodded, already turning toward the door. She had a woman to find. A woman who had waited centuries for her. And she wasn't going to make her wait any longer. End of Chapter 212

Clara said, then gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, making her mom smile. "Are you sure you won't wait for breakfast?" Dr. Ellen asked, her voice a mix of disappointment and concern. "No way! And risk going late and landing into more trouble? I'm off," Clara said, then took the car keys on the dining table. Vivian sat on the couch, holding a cup of steaming hot chocolate in one hand while the other was holding the novel Tales of the Great Gatsby, even though Damian had spoiled the story for her by telling her what happened at the end. She was still determined to read it to the end herself, trying to lose herself in the book.

" I liked you, well, I liked everybody so far, I liked everybody, actually. That may change, but at the moment I'm loving them all.” " Even me? " He looked at her suspiciously, and she could already see the question that would come if she said yes. Clara took a few steps and stood facing him on the sofa, he was sitting down, and she decided to sit next to him, very close, and picked up the book he was reading so much. She saw the name: How to Make Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie. " Oh, I have that book! It's my bedside bible. " She spoke loudly, excited, and began to turn the pages. Otavio looked at her expressionlessly. " I thought you were studying.”

"Thank you for being there regardless of what your intentions were. She's alive and I owe you. Don't forget to collect. It expires before the 1st of the new year." "You're funny today!" She leaned against my arm. "Clara?" "Yeah?" "Just for today, when you're not being a reporter, I'll tell you something about myself." We looked into each other's eyes. "It's a piece of truth about me, just me and not my father or brother or any other Bancroft. Can I trust you with it?" "Yes." She answered. "You can trust me." "Mr Bancroft, she's ready for you."

"I can see you like the house. Come on in and I'll show you around. I'm Clara by the way, the one who called earlier." I smiled, following her into the massive house. The interior screamed ‘art’ and I loved it. At the orphanage I used to love reading Mrs Gina's home magazines and dreamt countless times of stepping my foot into a house like that, but I never had expected to walk into a real life one. Clara offered me a seat on the soft sofa and I took a seat, still ogling the place. "So are you ready for my questions?" I frowned. "What of Mr Snider? I thought he'd be the one doing the interview not you."
