Sophie became even more certain of her hunch.
Ysabelle retired to her room for a shower after dinner and left Sophie and Tristan in the living room.

He made her feel very safe, as if he would be able to solve all her problems no matter what happened.

“They’re the ones who have assaulted me, Uncle Jason. You must avenge me.”
