Chapter 20

Patrick spoke and then turned with Violet in his arms. “Nelson, let’s go.”

He walked away carrying Violet, paying no attention to Henry behind him.

Elaine’s face was equally grim, her voice bitter. She clearly did not want to believe what she had just heard. “He said Violet is his wife, but when did that happen? Why weren’t we informed?”
