Chapter 27

• Zoe’s POV
• My dad looked at me. His eyes were soft. "Sienna," he said, his voice quiet, "your mom just needs to remember what's real. What truly matters. She's been through a lot. She's vulnerable right now." He took my hand. "That Daniel guy. He's just a distraction. A young, rich thrill. Not something serious for her."
• I nodded. My stomach twisted. I believed him. Dad was hurting too. I saw it. He loved us. He wanted our family back together. "But she said no to you, Dad," I whispered. My throat felt tight.
