The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 591

"From what I've gathered, Sasha doesn't seem to have any interest in Shane," Justin explained. "In fact, she started disliking him when he started looking for someone else to take her place. And…"

He hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to be upfront. "If she really cared about him, there's no way she'd let him move in with another woman. I'm starting to think it was Sasha who told him to move in with her."

Carlisle looked skeptical. "You're sure about that?"

"I'm not sure," Justin said. "All I know is that after talking to Sasha, he ended up moving in with someone else. I'm just guessing based on that."

He shared everything he knew with Carlisle, who quickly understood that Shane had only just begun to show improvement. Bringing him home too soon might undo everything, so letting Shane endure a bit more hardship seemed like the best course.

Carlisle paced restlessly in the living room, still thinking about what Sasha could have said to Shane. After mulling it over, he decided to call her. He needed answers.

"I heard you spoke with Shane today, huh?" he asked.

Sasha hadn't expected Carlisle to call so late. His question made her pulse spike. She was worried he might be looking to stir up trouble, but since he hadn't said anything else, Sasha couldn't figure out how much he actually knew. So, she decided to play it safe.

"Yeah," she replied.

"I heard he's made some noticeable changes since talking to you," Carlisle said. "What did you tell him?"
