Drowsy with sleep, Luna Warner heard a door open and close. She spoke, annoyed, "Mom, I told you not to bother me."
"Cousin, are you planning to sleep forever?"
Sylvia Schuyler's voice made Luna Warner's eyes fly open. She sat up abruptly. Seeing the completely transformed Sylvia standing before her, Luna was stunned speechless for a long moment.
"Sylvia? You're actually back?"
"Did you think I was going to be stuck abroad forever, cousin?"
Luna had played no small part in forcing Sylvia away all those years ago. She had deliberately schemed behind her back, making Gordon Morgan see Sylvia as nothing more than a pheasant trying to become a phoenix and had secretly slandered her.
But that was all in the past now. Even without Luna's machinations, the Morgan family of that time would never have approved of her and Victor Morgan being together.
