The doorbell rings
Just as she considered calling him, the doorbell rang. I jumped up, heart pounding, and hurried to the door.
Opening it revealed Alex standing there, but this time he wasn’t alone. Beside him was a man in a suit, carrying a briefcase. “Sorry for the delay,”
Alex said softly. “This is Mr. Thompson, my lawyer.” My gut tightened as I welcomed them inside. Clearly, this visit was about more than just a family reunion.
The suspense was unbearable.
