Shelly watched as her brother's heart broke. If she hadn't liked Jessica before, she loathed the woman now. But she was conflicted at the same time. If Jessica really had been the one to set the trap, wouldn't it be in her best interest to be a part of the investigation? Or did she have something more nefarious in mind?

"Please leave," Shelly found herself saying as she pointed to the door. Her tone was incongruous with her words, but she didn't care. She wanted Jessica out of her house.

"I understand," Jessica said. She stood up and gave one more apologetic look to Eldon. Then she turned and walked out.

"You could have been nicer to her, dear," her mom chided her softly.
