Sullivan flicked on the bedside lamp, bathing the room in a soft glow. He propped himself up against the pillows and fixed Megan with a deep gaze, “What do you think?”

well enough that this fondness was not love. He wanted Megan and her affection, and he also made concessions for her. He told her that from now on, he would let Bianca handle all matters related to Cressida–he wouldn’t see Cressida
