Kyla's heart skipped a beat, but she maintained a facade of surprise. "Byrum? Who is he? Is something wrong? Don't frightenlike that." Noah's expression remained unchanged. "He's dead. Hit by a car." "What?!" Kyla covered her mouth, feigning shock. "That's horrible! How could such a thing happen?" She shivered, simulating distress.
"The police ruled it an accident, but..." Noah paused, his eyes narrowing slightly. "It seems he was trying to contact you before he died."

"I know you're upset because of what happened to Sadie, but... have you forgotten who saved you back then? If not for me, you..."
