A Friend's Warning Leads Toward Family Betrayal

Dove's photographs prompt Snow to confront suspicions she has already had about Ares and his secretary. At the office, a matching necklace and the secretary's resemblance to Snow's sister make reassurance harder to find. Hearing her brother in the private conversation then extends the breach of trust beyond her marriage. Snow treats Dove's profession as a guarantee of accuracy, but readers can distinguish that confidence from what the scene directly confirms.

Which evidence comes from Dove, which does Snow observe herself, and which arrives through overheard claims?
