Chapter 77: A Changed Man

Something was wrong. Henry couldn't have forgotten his fiancée, the woman with whom he was involved in the car accident. Unless he'd suffered brain damage....

The next moment, she was lost in a passionate embrace, her thoughts consumed. He was drunk, his cyes filled with a raw, desperate intensity that frightened her. Afterward, Sonya felt utterly exhausted, while Henry slept soundly. She cleaned herself up. Back in bed, she watched him sleep.

"Sweetheart, I have to go to work."

"Dinner out tonight?"

Henry kissed her forehead. "Was I drunk last night?"
