"Okay, I'll go straight to the point," Adam says at last, his voice firmer. He sits up, posture shifting, eyes narrowing as though the moment for circling is over. "You came here because of money. For college, or for your parents' shallow business, whatever the reason..."
"Stop." Riley cuts him instantly, his voice cracking through the air with urgency. His pulse spikes so hard he feels it hammering at his throat. "Stop right there. How did you know about that?!"
The words leave him raw with a hidden panic that crawls down his spine. He never told anyone here. Not even Henry, No one knows about his family, not their business, not what they do. Henry couldn't have said it. So how? Did Adam spy on him? Dig into his life just to stand here and throw it at him?
