They'd barely had a moment alone before Carolyn's call cin.
Joshua shot Allison's phone a frosty look. "Don't answer."
Allison gave him a pointed glance. "We're here for her birthday party, remember?"
She picked up anyway.
Carolyn sounded bubbly as ever, not a hint of annoyance in her voice. "Allie, you two can't hide in your room all
night! Cout and have sfun. | just saw Olivia and Sabrina-they're here already."
"Okay, we'll be right there."
Allison ended the call and turned to Joshua. "Let's go. Olivia and Sabrina just got here."
Joshua's mood had clearly cooled, his face unreadable. He just grunted, "Mm," not bothering to hide his lack of
enthusiasm.
Downstairs, the main hall was huge, the kind of place that made you feel small, with a massive crystal
chandelier glittering overhead. People gathered in small clusters, laughing, glasses clinking, everyone already
settling into party mode.
The last guests had just arrived, and the yacht was slipping away from the dock, the city lights shrinking in the
distance.

She nodded, "Okay," and let him go.
Allison headed toward the heart of the party, scanning the crowd for Carolyn. No sign of her-it made sense,
though, since the birthday girl was probably busy greeting everyone. Olivia and Sabrina weren't around either.
She reached for her phone, planning to text Olivia and see where they were. Before she could type a word,
someone shoved her hard from behind.
Caught off guard and wobbling in heels, Allison staggered, about to go down- until a steady pair of hands caught
her.
"Thanks," she said, breathless.
"No problem," ca warm, familiar voice.
She looked up, surprised. Watson.
What was he doing here?
He seemed to read her mind and smiled. "Ms. Witt invited me."
Allison nodded. That
tracked-Carolyn had said she invited a bunch of people this year sfriends, some
friendsof-friends. Watson's firm had done cases for Carolyn's company before, so it wasn't strange they'd crossed
paths.
Whether he was here for Carolyn or for her, it all made sense.
She straightened up with his help. "Thanks again."
Watson let go, stepping back politely, all calm and gentlemanly. "You don't need to thank me. Not for something
like this."
Suddenly, a shrill, mocking voice rang out behind her. "Well, if it isn't my fake sister! Didn't think you could
actually make it onto a yacht like this. Guess | underestimated you, huh?"
