Lucy wasnât ready to let the matter go. âHoney, why wonât you reveal Carlyâs true identity?â she pressed.
Hayden paused midâstop, his figure still refined and gentlemanly but now cloaked in an air of solemnity. Finally, his voice came, âBecause Carlyâs mother doesnât want her to return to the Capitol.â
