Connor's brows furrowed deeply. "What are you talking about?"

Diana yanked open her collar. "Aren't these your marks?"

Tears of defiance welled up in Diana's eyes. "You were drunk. I'm not blaming you, and I won't force you to take responsibility, but you can't just trample all over my feelings." Connor saw the red marks on her neck. He glanced at them briefly before looking away.

Diana's head snapped up, her face a mask of disbelief. After a long silence, she asked in a trembling voice, "What did you just say?"

Connor had felt a twinge of reluctance the previous night, but now he was composed. "Barrett is one of Claire's people. From the beginning, his goal was to get close to you."

Connor watched her face contort as if struck by lightning and sighed heavily. "Last night, Chloe saved you. She got there just in time, and Barrett didn't get to do anything that's beyond redemption."
