Sterling Estate.
Late night.
The mansion had finally begun to quiet down.
Most of the relatives who had come to meet Timothy had either returned home or settled into guest rooms.
Lights remained on in only a few sections of the enormous residence.
Miles entered through one of the quieter side corridors.
No hoodie.
No weapon visible.
No trace of Ghost.
His clothes were clean.
His expression was calm.
By the time he reached the front of the room, Miles Sterling had completely returned.
He stopped outside the bedroom.
Then knocked.
A few seconds later...
The door opened.
Chloe stood there.
Arms folded.
Cheeks puffed.
And judging by the look on her face...
She had definitely not been sleeping.
Miles stared at her.
Then smiled cautiously.
"Looks like you weren't asleep."
Chloe didn't move.
"Where were you?"
Miles entered slowly.
"Just taking care of a few things before we leave."
Chloe closed the door behind him.
"At this hour?"
Miles nodded.
