Ruby frowned deeply, her sharp eyes narrowing as she recognized Levi. Wasn't he the same ghost who had sat on the wagon with her that day? Her gaze shifted across the room. Milo looked pale and uneasy, Karl's baby-blue eyes burned with anger, and Julian stood frozen, his expression tight.

"Who are you?" Ruby asked, her voice calm but filled with authority. "And what are you doing in my house?" Though she had a guess, she waited for him to answer.

Levi's yellow, cat-like eyes gleamed with false innocence as he gave her a nervous smile. "Miss Ruby, we haven't met formally before," he began, his tone dripping with fake politeness. "I'm Julian's cousin."

"So... why are you here?" Ruby asked, tilting her head slightly, her sharp eyes fixed on Levi and his mother.

Milo, who had been standing off to the side, slowly moved behind Ruby, clutching the back of her robe like a nervous child.
