She poured out everything she had been holding in
Vera looked at her, stunned, as though she were seeing Sierra in a whole new light.
“Didn't you really want to marry Benson before?” she asked, her voice faltering.
“That's because | thought he cared fortoo. Even with his bad temper and difficult personality, he was always

William narrowed his eyes and scoffed. "Benson said he'll set a wedding date soon. Until then, you're staying in

freedom."
