Their eyes met, and Margo’s heart skipped a beat. Heat rushed to her face.
Sensing the strange tension between them, Myah narrowed her gaze slightly and stepped closer to Margo.
“Mom…” Dunn called out instinctively.
Myah gritted her teeth, disappointment clear as she turned to him. She had hoped Dunn would hold out longer, but his attachment to Margo still caught her off guard.
In truth, Myah had noticed something the moment she saw Margo, but she chose not to say it. She wanted Margo to face her own feelings and find clarity on her own.

Dunn’s silence only felt louder.
Worried sick, Margo kept going. “Does your head still hurt? What did the doctor say? Will there be any lasting effects p>
But before she could say anything else, her words caught in her throat. Margo blinked, completely thrown off.
