Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny

Jonathan found himself at a loss for words. His cousin, Emily, was known as someone of average intelligence and an innocent nature. Yet, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel she was demonstrating a level of cunning that was truly touching. One moment she was lamenting how the Winters clan had no love for Quintessa, and the next, she was gleefully recounting how she'd caught Quintessa and Tyrone in a compromising situation in bed.

It was as if she hadn't outright said, "This is my son's woman; you're out of luck, so you might as well give up."
