Claire looked at Daniel.<\/p>\n

Daniel hesitated.<\/p>\n

That hesitation hurt more than Eleanor\u2019s words.<\/p>\n

Claire stepped back from the table.<\/p>\n

Eleanor gave a small satisfied smile.<\/p>\n

Daniel said nothing.<\/p>\n

And that silence answered her again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
