Judy's POV

Nan walked back into the room with a dazed expression, and I narrowed my eyes.

I knew she wanted to spy on Chester and Harper to find out what they were saying to one another. But the look she had on her face was a mix of fear, pain, and maybe a bit of happiness. I couldn't really tell what was going on through her mind and before I could ask, Harper walked down the hallway with her things in her hands.

She paused once she noticed us all staring at her and her cheeks flushed red. She stared at the ground for a moment, nibbling on her lower lip before glancing up at me.

"I'll be seeing you," she said simply. "I'm sorry for causing such a scene."

I wasn't sure what to say in return, so I only nodded and watched as she left the mansion. A few minutes later, Chester returned to the living room as well. He ran his fingers through his blonde disheveled hair and gave me a small smile.

"It's been dealt with," he told me honestly. "She won't cause any problems anymore."

I nodded my thanks to him, my eyes fixed on Nan's face. Chester also noticed her expression and a worried crease formed between his brows.

"Are you okay?" Chester asked her, his eyes narrowed.

Nan bit her lip and nodded, though her face gave her away. She wasn't okay; she saw or overheard something that unsettled her. Chester didn't look as if he bought it either, but when he glanced over at us, he realized this wasn't something Nan wanted to share in front of him and that he should leave.

"Okay, well, I'm going to head to bed then," he murmured. "It's pretty late."
