"But Clara definitely knew about Autumn Shelby." Poppy Vance didn't think her memory was failing her. That day, Clara had clearly asked her about what was going on between Brother Quinn and Autumn Shelby.
She even asked if you were the one who told me about her. I said yes, so I just assumed you'd already told Clara.
"What? She knew?" Seth Quinn sounded agitated. He instantly uncrossed his legs and stared intently at Poppy Vance.
"Yeah, she asked me about it that day." Poppy then recounted the gist of her conversation with Clara, making sure to emphasize the most important parts: Clara saying, "I don't dislike him," and the part where she got nervous and jealous because of Autumn Shelby.
"You... you're saying she... she said she doesn't dislike me?" Seth Quinn looked incredulous. The man who was normally so calm and collected was actually stammering. "She said that herself?"
"Of course! You think I'd make up a lie to trick you?"
