Sophia’s POV
Amber was in the middle of telling me a ridiculous story about Colton sneaking out of the house at sixteen…
“…and he thought nobody noticed, but the security cameras literally caught…”
A sound.
Sharp.
Loud.
Echoing from downstairs.
We both froze.
Another sound.
Voices.
Raised.
Amber’s brows furrowed immediately.
“That doesn’t sound good.”
My chest tightened.
Because I already had a feeling…
A very strong feeling…
About who it was.
We didn’t even say anything.
We just moved.
Quick steps down the hallway.
Down the stairs.
And the moment we reached the living room…
There she was.
Carmen.
Standing in the middle of the space like she owned it.
Like she had every right to be there.
Her heels clicking sharply against the floor as she paced.
Her voice…
Alre
