    There were just some people in Ste’s life, people so insignificant–that she bhardly /bever thought of them. When Rianne heard her say that, she let out a soft bugh/b. “Sounds like things have been going pretty well for you since you igot /iback bto /bFalvaria.”

    “They have.”

    Three simple words, but they said everything about how content Ste had been since her return.

    Ethan and the Reed family had waited for her to hit a wall with the Dawsons, but in the end, they were left disappointed.

    They had been so eager to see her thrown out of the Dawson family…

    “And you? How have you been?”

    When Rianne left Rivermount, things between her and Tempest had looked…plicated.

    Ste had been a little worried about her.

    “I’ve been okay,” Rianne replied.

    Unlike Ste’s easygoing response, Rianne’s version of okay came out stiff and strained, like she was forcing it through a clenched jaw.

    Ste picked up on the hesitation and frowned. “If you can’t stand it in Rivermount anymore,e to Falvaria. I can easily get you into a good hospital with a future.”

    “I don’t need your help,” Rianne said.

    “Right, right—you’re the big genius. As long as you get away from Tempest, there’ll be plenty of people lining up for you.”

    Rianne was one of those rare, in–demand genius doctors.

    To be honest, while Tempest had spent years keeping her under his wing, Rianne had quietly grown stronger on her own, without him even noticing.

    “What’s his attitude toward you now?”

    Ste hadn’t asked much about what happened between Tempest and that bHailey /b

    woman.

    But back then, Rianne had asked Ste to take her away, which meant whatever happened had been serious.

    “No attitude at all,” Rianne replied.

    Ste was stunned.

    “Actually, I’m already getting ready to leave Rivermount. As soon as the research center in Yalvoria gives the green light, I’m out.”

    Right now, Rianne was just waiting for the go–ahead from East Yalvoria.

    “You’re going to Yalvoria?” Ste asked.

    “Don’t tell anyone.”

    Rianne hadn’t even told Tempest yet, she clearly didn’t want Ste passing on the

    news.

    “I know,” Ste said.

    They chatted a little more before hanging up.

    When Abraham returned from his study, he saw Ste sitting up in bed, just setting down her phone.

    He walked over, shrugged off his robe, climbed into bed, and pulled her into his arms. “Who was that?b” /b

    These days, Abraham hated anyone calling Stete at night.

    She was pregnant; she needed proper rest.

    “She wants your help? Tell her to talk to Abel instead.”

    Ste was stunned. iSo /inow, iin /iihis /iimind/ii, /ievery ione /iof imy /iifriends /iwas like Tessa, bionly /i/breaching iout /iito /iiask /iifor /iifavors/i?

    Honestly, back when they were in Rivermount, it was Tessa who’d helped biher /i/bbmore /boften.

    And this time, it was Tessa’s world that had suddenly been turned upside down- Ste hadn’t even fully processed it yet.

    But once she did, she knew Tessa would bounce back fast and handle it like she always did.

    “She wasn’t asking for help,” Ste muttered.

    Abraham looked down at her.

    “Lillian’s dead,” Ste said. “Died under a bridge in Rivermount. The weather’s been weirdly cold there the past few days.”

    Rivermount’s most “established” adopted daughter.

    She’d probably dominate the headlines tomorrow.

    Abraham let out a helpless sigh and gently pinched her cheek. “And that was worth waking you up for in the middle of the night?”

    “It’s daytime in Rivermount.”

    “Still shouldn’t have,” he muttered.

    “She told me so I’d feel better.” Ste stuck out her tongue as she spoke.

    Honestly, when Rianne described how horribly Lillian had died, Ste ihad /ifelt a little satisfied.

    “She couldn’t have waited til morning?” Abraham asked.

    “If it’s daytime here, it’d be the middle of the night for Rianne.”

    Abraham said nothing after that; he just held Ste close and urged her to get some

    sleep.

    Ste slept well that night, especially with Abraham beside her.

    It didn’t take long before she drifted off again in his arms. But the man holding her wasn’t quite as lucky.

    At four in the morning, Abraham actually had to get up and take a cold shower.

    When he returned to bed and pulled Ste back into his arms, she must’ve felt the chill in her sleep; she squirmed with a soft grumble.

    “Don’t hug me, you’re cold.”

    That little movement made the fire Abraham had just tamped down start to rise all over again.

    The next morning, Ste woke in Abraham’s arms. The moment their eyes met, she could clearly see the fatigue in his.
