Sandy took a deep breath, her eyes flicking up as she parted her lips, ready to spill the truth Shane had been hiding all this time.

But Shane's strong hand caught hers, holding her back. He shot her a look— those dark, stubborn eyes-silent, but commanding her not to say a word. He turned to his mother, voice sharp, "Do you really not trust your own son? You think you've only heard one side of the story? I swear to God, Mom!"

He nodded toward Whitney. "Whitney can back me up-she saw how Florence treated Sandy, how she bullied her. Believe me, after she found out Sandy was pregnant with my kid, she was never going to let Sandy come back to me."
