Lyra stared at Alice Gallagher's message, reading it for the third time. A restored photograph? A suspicion they wanted to confirm? Her heart raced as she considered the possibilities.
"Everything alright?" Percival asked, noticing her furrowed brow.
"Mrs. Gallagher texted about the photograph they want to show us tonight," Lyra explained, showing him the message. "She says they have a suspicion, and that I'll be quite surprised."
Percival read it, his expression thoughtful. "Interesting. Alice mentioned her brother is coming to town specifically to meet you."
"Her brother?" Lyra's curiosity peaked. "Why would he want to meet me?"
Before Percival could respond, his phone rang. He checked the screen and sighed. "It's my assistant. I need to take this."
As Percival stepped away to answer his call, Lyra's phone chimed again. This time it was a message from Alice that made her breath catch.
