Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 26 Our Marriage License

"Dear, I almost forgot. Are you being discharged from the hospital today?"

There was background noise over the phone. She felt Anne must have called during a break in her shooting.

She needed to avoid any impropriety.

Anne asked worriedly, "Then where will you go?"

Meryl replied, "To my fiancé's place."
