Throughout their chat, Elara made subtle references to Liora’s background. “Have you ever truly known her? “Before all this?” she inquired, innocently. Caden’s frown grew. Such words caused him to question the foundation of his relationship with Liora. “What do you mean?” he inquired, attempting to dismiss his doubts. Elara shrugged, keeping her look calm. “People aren’t always what they seem,” she said, leaving him to reflect on her words.

Elara’s seeds of uncertainty had firmly taken root.
