She had noticed from the moment she arrived that something was bothering Alana. "I have held back from asking long enough. What is it that troubles you?"
"What?" Alana replied, snapping out of her thoughts. "Nothing is troubling me. I was just thinking about the estate."
"You are not a good liar. You never have been since you were a child and I like it. Tell me what it is and I will try to give you some peace of mind. Is it that my presence does not compare to Scarlet's? I would pick her over me as well," said Samara.
