Time was running out. I could feel it in my bones. Layla was starting to become desperate, and restless. Earlier, Katherine had mentioned something I needed to know, but I was one hundred percent sure Layla wasn't planning on telling me.

"Daniel."

I turned to see Vanessa walking my way. It didn't take a genius to notice the worry lines forming grooves on her forehead.

She stepped up and gave me a hug. "James gave me the in-a-nutshell version." She leaned back. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."

She scowled at me with her dark eyes under thick lashes. "You're kidding, right? Danny, you're the only brother I ever worry about."
