What was supposed to be a beautiful day was ruined by Phoebe Edwards. Bryan Hawkins was irritated, but he was rational and knew that the biggest mistake had been his own for devising such a scheme in the first place.
He'd thought there would be time to explain everything to Carolline Ruiz afterwards, but running into Phoebe Edwards had thrown all his plans into disarray.

Bryan Hawkins drove straight home, carried Axel out of the backseat, and picked up several bags. Carolline took the remaining bags and followed him.
Throughout the journey, she didn't make a sound.
It wasn't until they both entered the house that Bryan, carrying Axel, went into the bedroom. Carolline divided the bags, taking Axel's to the restroom and her own to put in the bedroom.
