Elara was in the library when she heard the voice.
"He's back."

"Victoria—"
"Don't worry, dear. I won't say anything." She moved closer. "But the staff will. They always do."

"I don't care what the lawyers say," he was saying. "Find a way to—" He saw her. "I'll call you back."
He hung up. "Everything okay?"
