immediately and felt her entire body burning with frustration. ---- That was when the doorbell rang. She quickly composed herself and went to open the door. Grace was standing outside, there to return the car keys. Her gaze happened to land on the still-lit phone screen, where Damien's latest indecent photo was displayed in full view. Selene felt mortified, and
