Vera Xavier looked into Cara Preston's eyes. They were filled with such sincerity that Vera thought, 'No wonder I fell into her trap in my last life.' Cara was a natural-born drama queen; her gaze radiated a sincerity so profound it was as if she genuinely had your best interests at heart.
She had to admire Cara. They had already had a major falling-out the other day, yet here Cara was, acting as if nothing had ever happened.
