It started with Evelyn.
Evelyn Cross had been quiet about Mila longer than anyone else — longer than Elena, who'd flagged the cash flow in week one; longer than Nia, who'd cracked the WiFi subnets by day three; longer than Song Mei, who'd read Mila's hands at the family dinner and said nothing for days afterward. Evelyn had been quiet because Evelyn didn't speculate. Evelyn investigated. And investigations took time.
