His Heart Is Now Elsewhere

Chapter 7

During the interval of waiting for the red light, Brennan opened the voice message.

Brittany’s sharp voice came out, “Marlene, I knew you wouldn’t be honest. Are you intentionally playing hide–and–seek now to make him worry? Do you think you can steal him away like this? Dream on!
