The following morning, Megan was trying to settle into life back in the mansion. Her mother was hovering, though she wasn’t actually doing anything other than annoying Megan. The servants were constantly asking her if there was anything else she needed. Her father was pumping her for information about the investigation since she had been spending time with Christian the previous night at the gala. After being bombarded by everyone, she retreated to her room in desperate need to have some time to herself. One of the nice things about living on her own, she didn’t have people bothering her all day long. Between all the interruptions, she didn’t have a moment to process what happened to her home, or think about her next steps.

There was a knock on her door, causing Megan to let out a sigh before she called out, “Yes, what is it?”

“Miss Williams, you have a guest waiting for you in the formal living room,” Rhoda informed her through the door.

“Who is it?” Megan asked with apprehension. She wasn’t in the mood to see anyone socially. Answering questions about what was going on wasn’t something she felt like doing.

“Investigator Perez. He says he has news about the fire last night.”

Megan sat up and swung her legs over the side of her bed, hopeful she might finally get some answers. “Please, let him know I will be down in a few minutes.”

“Right away, miss,” the servant said, before her footsteps retreated down the hall.

Megan jumped up and rushed over to her vanity. She glanced in the mirror, checking her appearance. With fast precision, she put on a bit of makeup, combed out her hair, and slipped on a floral dress with matching strappy sandals. It wasn’t exactly her style now, but it couldn’t be helped. It was the best she could do under the circumstances. She was just grateful she had any clothes to wear.

When Megan reached the formal living room, she could hear her father’s voice from around the corner, causing her to pause before she made her presence known.

“I know you claim to be here about the fire, but I wouldn’t be doing my job as a father if I didn’t bring up what I saw going on between you and my daughter last night. Do you have romantic feelings for Megan?”

“I’m not sure if that’s any of your business, Mr. Williams. Whatever is or isn’t going on is between her and I. If you have questions about that, I suggest you take it up with your daughter.”

“I would, but I know she would just stonewall me, like you’re trying to do.”

“That isn’t what I’m doing. I just want to be respectful of Megan and not talk about her when she isn’t here. I do, however, understand that you simply want to look out for your daughter. I can tell you this, Mr. Williams, my intentions are honorable with Megan. I care about her and I will do whatever I can to keep her safe.”

“I appreciate your telling me that, but I’m not sure if that answers my question.
