“Do you even hear yourself?” Diana cut in. “As far as I know, you married Marcus under the exact same circumstances. Don’t go looking for excuses. If your daughter fell for him, there’s a reason. And I don’t doubt that you and Marcus raised her to be a good person. You told me yourself–she’s smart. She knows what she’s doing.”

“Diana, I need to go back. I need to talk to my daughter. I need answers. I need to understand what really happened. Maybe this guy seduced her–maybe he tricked her.”

Diana watched as Valerie struggled between her thoughts and her emotions. She could only hope that her fears and insecurities wouldn’t make things worse. Valerie had finally allowed herself to find happiness with her husband, and now, her daughter being pregnant with the son of the man she once loved was only making things even more complicated.
