A wave of panic washed over Clara Grant. As if needing to be sure, she typed a line of text and sent it to Sarah Shelby, her hand trembling slightly as she clutched her phone.
—Is Miles Quinn Seth Quinn's younger brother? His *actual* brother?
Sarah Shelby replied quickly. Her message was just three words,
—You don't know?!!!!!!!
The question mark was followed by a string of exclamation points that conveyed her shock.
Seeing those three words, Clara Grant was rendered completely speechless. She turned weakly and leaned against the bathroom sink.
'Miles Quinn was Seth Quinn's actual younger brother! And Seth Quinn was Miles Quinn's actual older brother!'
A sliver of despair began to rise in Clara Grant's heart. It expanded rapidly, instantly filling her entire chest until she felt suffocated and unbearably distressed.
'How could Seth Quinn be Miles Quinn's actual older brother? How could they be biological brothers?'
