Lost Me Gained Regret

"You'd really do anything for this little mistake, huh?"

Mark's laugh sent shivers down my spine. "Well, I suppose keeping it isn't entirely out of the question."

"So, this is the woman you'd go to the ends of the earth for?"

Samuel eyed me up and down. "Sure, you're good-looking, but that's about it. Can't figure out why Greg's so into you."

Silence fell over us like an awkward night.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Samuel turned his attention back to Mark. "I've arranged a place for her to rest. I need to talk to you about something." Mark sensed something was off. "What's left to discuss?"
