Chapter 3 – Blood Recognition
Eleanor pulls out her phone with trembling precision.
A photograph appears.
A baby.
Same bracelet.
Same flowers carved in silver.
Claire stares at it.

Claire whispers:

Not softly.
Desperately.
“You are not leaving this place.”
Richard steps in aggressively.

Eleanor turns slowly.
Her expression is lethal calm.
