"No," she said softly. "Everything I've said is the truth."
Daniel let out a short, humorless chuckle.
"No," he shook his head again. "This has to be a joke."
Mary nodded slowly beside him.
"Did Ronan put you up to this?" she asked Sophia. "If this is one of his pranks, it is not funny."
"It is not a prank…"
Mary slammed her hand on the table, the sound echoing sharply through the hall.
