Sunlight filtered through the living room curtains, illuminating the dust motes in the air, but to you it felt cold. Outside in the yard, a scene unfolded that shattered her world. Caleb—tall, with thick, dark blond hair and a penetrating gaze that always seemed to see right through everything—stood at the gate next to Chloe. Her sister.
