A jolt of fear shot through Briony's heart.

But she knew—this was exactly the kind of situation where she couldn't afford to panic.

"Did Madeline really think I'd show up here empty-handed?" Briony's voice was steady, almost cold.

Madeline frowned. "What are you getting at?"

Briony's lips curled into a frosty smile. "Every single call Mack made to me these past few days—I recorded them all. Before I set foot in the Kensington house, I stopped by the police station.
