A few hours after my meeting, I returned to the office.
There it was—resting on my desk like it belonged there. A plain black file with a single word written in bold silver letters across the cover:
"TEAL."
I sat down slowly, heart steady, but eyes sharp. I flipped it open.

I stared at the photo clipped inside. Same teal eyes. Same features. Different hair. No pixie wig. Just soft light brown waves, brushed over her shoulders. The picture was recent. Very recent.
So Billie's sweet new hire wasn't Lexa June at all.
