The call came a couple of days later. It was no surprise that Ella was alone when her phone rang, the unknown number alarming her. Since Rome’s movie production had kicked into high gear, she was alone most of the time, unless she was with Lenore. She’d been spending a lot of time on the beach, just sticking her toes in the waves or sitting on the sand. That was where she was when her phone chimed in her pocket, letting her know that someone wanted to speak to her.
“Hello?” Ella said, caution filling her voice. Even though the chances that it was someone who knew her true identity were next to nothing, every time her phone rang, she jumped a little on the inside, even when Rome’s name popped up on the screen.
“Hello. Is this… Miranda?”
