By the end of their chat, Suzanne's voice had shed its usual softness, taking on a sharpness that hadn't been there before. She'd held a trump card back in the day, using it to strike a deal with Connor.

Connor finally broke his silence: "Sure, we had a deal, but the agreement was that I'd protect her until she was grown-up, not that I'd definitely marry her."
