Claire had blocked any thoughts of him a lifetime ago, convincing herself that she felt nothing for him...not love, not hate, nothing at all...and she'd survived without him. But now that he'd be seeing their daughter, reminders of his rejection returned with a vengeance. Why had he turned on her, never coming to get her like he'd promised, never contacting her at all? She figured that with all the resources available to one of society's privileged few, he could have easily found her, but when she never heard from him, she understood one thing; he wasn't looking for her because she was the last thing he wanted. Still, in her heart of hearts, she knew that there had to be more to the story, and with the help of her daughter, she'd search until she found the truth.
