All those little obstacles she put in her way were supposed to set her back, make her easier prey for Cassie. But now that Sola's new friend Sheila Foster made her aware of the truth, Cassie knows it'll all just be more fuel for Sola's fire.

No one in the world she cares about, save for the sister she had no choice but to raise. A sister that's become very capable of taking care of herself. But Sola? She's the type that forms connections everywhere she goes. That cares about people. Especially the ones that help her, that she feels indebted to.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps and slurred Australian swearing from the hallway outside the apartment catch Cassie's ear. "Fucken 'ell, I didn't leave this cunt open did I?" Sheila Foster pushes the already slightly ajar front door to her apartment open and stumbles in. She doesn't notice Cassie, or the figure lurking in the shadows behind the door.
