Meanwhile, Casey stood in place, looking surprised. What did Symeon just say? The time he spent with Amanda? What does that mean? These two don’t actually have a romantic history, do they?

As the notion crossed her mind, her emotions swirled in a complex mix, leaving her unable to describe her feelings.
