-technically, this was still my family home, even if it had never felt

like one. The scene in the living room confirmed my suspicions: Noah

Phillips sat on our sofa, wearing a light blue checkered shirt that

complemented his sandy brown hair. He looked every bit the

gentleman, his posture relaxed yet dignified, like he’d just stepped

out of some upper–class Moon Bay social event.

“I was wondering when you’d arrive,” she said, walking toward me

with open arms. “I said to myself, why is this child not announcing

herself? Come in, come in!”

I sidestepped her attempted embrace with practiced ease. The last

thing I wanted was her hands on me, especially now that I knew she’d

“Sorry I’m late,” I said flatly, not bothering to offer an excuse.

Noah stood up quickly, his eyes lighting up when they met mine.

There was no mistaking that look–a mixture of admiration and

longing that made me both uncomfortable and slightly sad. We’d

known each other for years, and he’d never hidden his feelings for me,

even when I married Sebastien.

“Iris,” he said softly. “It’s good to see you.”

“Noah,” I nodded politely. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Catherine swooped in before Noah could respond. “Noah was kind

“Let’s all sit down, Catherine insisted, practically shoving me toward

the dining room. “Dinner’s ready, and we have so much to catch up

on!”

The dining table was set formally, with the good china that Catherine

only brought out for important guests. I took a seat as far from Catherine as possible, ending up directly across from Noah. Kim sat

next to her mother, watching me with barely concealed ostility. My

uncle took his place at the head of the table, looking uncomfortable

but resigned.
