Annette POV

“Elizebeth,” I turned around to go and run out as she went past and comfort her but my husband grabbed me from behind.

“She won’t want to speak to anyone. She probably feels incredibly naive and stupid,” he told me.

“Let me go,” I told him. “Everyone stay here.

I followed her and grabbed her arm. “This way,” I told her. I brought her to the bunker beneath the keep. It was soundproof.
