Clyde caught the eyes of his niece and nephews. Their expressions were so shocked. They looked as if they were seeing Sadako crawl out of a television and was getting close to them. Dean's mouth had fallen slightly open, his eyes wide. Jacklin stood frozen beside him, her hand tightening around the glass she held.
Micah was enjoying their reaction when he noticed two other people he never expected to see near the Du Ponts. His smile faded slowly. First was his older sister, Willow, standing beside a woman in a pantsuit. And…The other was Leo McKay.
Shit. Why were they beside Jacklin and Dean?
It wasn't that he had not expected to encounter them tonight. But the problem was the combination.
Even if Willow encountered Clyde with a girl on his arm, the most she would do was just nod at Clyde and move on. They weren't familiar with each other. His parents, Elina and Jacob, had at least met Clyde at the hospital. But not Willow.
