"Damn," Lance mutters, shaking his head.

"I was very harsh with Winona when I told her I believed Ashlyn. I had to be. But that's proving harder than I thought it would be. I'm fearing for my own life every night," I say, my voice trembling with barely contained anger. "Have you and her..?" Lance hesitates, looking uncomfortable.
