Nathan's POV
I couldn't find Kyra anywhere. I've been going back to her workplace every day, but she's never there. It's been almost a week since she disappeared, and I'm losing my mind.
I know it was her I saw that day. When I questioned someone at the company, they confirmed an Elle works there,her new identity. She's here in the city, but somehow always one step ahead of me. Is she deliberately avoiding me? If she truly doesn't remember me as Emily claimed, why would she hide? But if she does remember... why run from me?
"Let her be. She's old enough to know what she's doing."
My jaw clenched when I heard dad say that to mom. They were discussing how Phoebe had been sneaking out almost every night, and my father seemed indifferent. I was walking down the stairs when I caught their conversation, and his dismissive tone instantly ignited my anger.
"What do you mean? She's just 21. We can't let her do this. What if she's—"
"Just trust her."
