Zachary closed his eyes, but the image of Tessa entwined with Stephen surfaced in his mind again. At this very moment, could they be engaged in something intimate?

She chose a black long-sleeved, velvet vintage dress, her wavy curls cascading over her shoulders. Her bright red lipstick perfectly complemented the black dress.
