Chapter 66 Mrs. Riley, What Brings You Here

On the other side of the door, Linsey's cheeks burned with embarrassment.

The study was Collin's sanctuary, a place where he immersed himself in his work, and she had just interrupted him.

The realization that she had possibly hindered his tasks made her stomach twist with regret.
