"Morwenna, are you avoiding me?" Stuart's deep and indifferent voice echoed through the room.

Morwenna stopped in her tracks, tacitly admitting the truth.

She could have made an excuse, but lying was never her strong suit. Her face was an open book. It was easier to own up to it.

Their relationship was complicated by Adelaide and further tangled by their mutual friend Norbert's issues.
