Liam was right beside her. Noticing her movement, he glanced at her.
"Liam, I'll go upstairs and take a look too," Wendy said softly.
Without waiting for a response, she hurried off after Leonard.
This was the perfect opportunity to get close to him—she wasn't about to let it slip away.
A man and a woman alone together… and with her identity as Suzy's sister, getting closer to Leonard would be the most natural thing in the world.

Their figures disappeared one after the other.

She could faintly sense the restlessness radiating from him.
But they weren't familiar with each other, and it wasn't her place to say anything.
The steady patter of rain only made the atmosphere more oppressive.
