The laughter made the room freeze.
Daniel wiped his face slowly.
"You really think this is the whole story?"
No one spoke.
He looked at me.
Then at Nora.
Then Amara.
"You're all so predictable."
My chest tightened.
What was he talking about?
Then he said something terrifying.
"I knew about the recording."
Amara froze.
"I knew about the trap."
My stomach dropped.
"And I knew about the birthday plan."
The room went silent.
Because that meant something impossible.
Someone had told him.
But who?
Daniel smiled slowly.
Then pointed.
Not at me.
Not at Nora.
At Amara.
And suddenly everything felt like it was about to explode again.
