Chapter 28: Sleuthing In the Library

Liliana's POV

"I don't understand all of this. My parents must have known far more than we realize. I need to get back and go through all of their private papers. There has to be something in there that will help me."

"Darling, you do not realize how much the man in the crypt loves you. He is willing to lay bare and become completely vulnerable with you in order to experience love. If you go into the library, you will find the greatest words ever written on the subject. He sought out many of the poets over time to understand the essence of love. I also think the thing with his sister had a deep impact upon him."

Liliana spun around. This was the first mention of a family member to be spoken. So why was she only hearing of this now? "What sister? What thing?"

Jasper dropped the drink he was holding. The glass hit the stone pavers and sent shards splintering in every direction. His eyes grew wide, and he began shaking his head rapidly from side to side.
