Connor studied her for a long moment before turning away, a faint curve tugging at the corner of his mouth.
“You truly don’t care what we said?” he asked quietly. “What if I was the one who provoked him?”
He lowered his head, meeting Tess’s gaze as she looked up. One face calm with a trace of humor, the other still and detached.
Tess gave a small, wry smile. “What I said earlier wasn’t meant to anger Finn, a only for his ears.
“I care about what I see with my own eyes. I care about the people who matter to me.”

Her voice was cool and level, as clear and untouchable as snow on a mountain peak–pure to look at, cold to the touch, impossible to grasp.
“And don’t think I don’t know what kind of man you are, Mr. Hale.”
Her tone was steady, her eyes meeting his without a flinch.
Connor’s smile deepened slightly.
They said nothing more, yet the silence between them carried an unspoken understanding.
“Since we’re guests here, it wouldn’t do to pretend nothing happened,” Connor said finally. With a faint smile, he rested a hand on Tess’s shoulder and gently guided her forward- toward Finn’s room.
Tess shrugged lightly, neither agreeing nor refusing, but still following his lead.
By the time they arrived, Finn had already regained consciousness. A needle drip was taped <i>to </i>the back of his hand.
At the sound of the door opening, he turned his head. When he saw Tess, the light in his eyes went out entirely.
Julia looked up as well. “Why did you bring the baby? Be careful–don’t let her catch anything.”
Her tone was soft, full of concern rather than me, even though she knew full well that Finn’s copse had everything to do with Tess.
Roxanne, however, was far lessposed.

She marched across the room, eyes zing. “Tess! Are you happy now? Finn’s sick because of you! Was that your n all along–to hurt him and gloat?”
She stepped closer, her hand half–raised as if to grab Tess by the cor.
Connor’s eyes sharpened instantly. He moved between them, blocking Roxanne’s reach. “Ms. Lowe,” he said evenly, “please mind your manners.”
“Manners?” she spat. “Why should I mind my manners with a woman like her?” Her fury turned on him next, venomcing every word. “You’re blind, both of you! What did she give you to make you follow her around like a dog?”

From the moment Roxanne first met Tess, irritation had been simmering ben facade. Now, she didn’t even know whether she was venting her anger at Finnshing out for her own sake. Every word that left her mouth dripped with contempt, sharp and filthy enough to cut.
The room, full of proper, restrained faces, fell into a heavy silence.
Connor’s expression cooled, his gaze narrowing on Roxanne’s hands, ready to stop her if she struck out again.
But Tess reached out and pushed him gently aside.
She stood a little taller than Roxanne, and without the barrier between them, she looked down on the younger woman, her eyes glinting with disdain.
“Roxanne,” she said quietly, “you’re a guest of Julia’s, so I’ve been patient. But don’t mistake that for weakness. You’ve called me a ‘whore‘ more than once–perhaps I should live up to the name and show you what that earns.”
Her smile was cold as she handed La into Connor’s arms, flexing her wrist as if to loosen it. “Let’s see if you can take a p from one.”
The room went still. Roxanne froze, her bravado copsing as her face flushed crimson.
“You-!” she stammered.
“Enough, Roxanne,” Julia interjected quickly, stepping forward. “I know you’re upset about Finn, but this has nothing to do with Tess.” She gave Tess an apologetic nce, her expression almost pleading.
Tess gave a short, cold huff and lowered her hand. Taking La back from Connor, she gathered the child against her chest, and all at once her anger subsided. The sharpness vanished, leaving behind a calm, towering stillness–like a tree that had weathered too many
storms.

Roxanne, left with no one to support her, didn’t dare meet Tess’s eyes again. She backed off, biting her lip, her pride bruised. After a moment she turned toward Finn’s bed, tears springing to her eyes as she clutched his arm.
“Finn,” she said tremulously, “they say it’s just overexertion, that you <i>got </i>too angry her fault, isn’t it? She provoked you, and now she stands here acting like nothing Her voice wavered, softening to a pitiful whine.
