“By the time I get home, Fiona is already there. I find her in Michael’s office, which sends a spike of irritation through me. “What are you doing in here?” Holding a feather duster, she whirls around from his desk and starts when she sees me. “Kayla!” “Yes, it’s me. I live here, remember?” Her smile is apologetic. “I’m sorry, dear. I didn’t hear you come in. You walk like a cat.”
