Chapter 28: Crazy

Troy’s expression hardened a hint of mockery in his voice. “You think I have no right to be concerned? You’re not just my wife but also my sister–in–law. Do you ever consider why he wants to take you abroad? Once there, you are on your own, without family, what then?”

She challenged him, “Even my friends?”

“Is he truly just a friend?”

Imogen turned away in frustration.
