Fenna nodded with a smile. Her eyes fixed on Nathan as she replied, "Got it. You guys go ahead."
As Nathan and Cameron disappeared into the study, Fenna's gaze wandered around the living room. "Your house is incredibly spacious and elegant, Mr. and Mrs. Hoffis." Michaela and Tristan exchanged glances, feeling uneasy with Fenna's presence.

"Oh, how long have you two been friends?"
"It's been over ten years now."
"Ten years? But why haven't I heard Wanda talk about you before?"
