Thalassa’s body went absolutely stiff–her expression, her movements, even her voice–as she stared back at the woman she considered a second mother. Though she’d expected the request, the sting of betrayal was too hard to

Thalassa finally found her voice, but she was unable to eject the bitterness from it as she spoke.

Thalassa smiled wryly. “Karen didn’t exactly remember all that when she was betraying me, did she? How do I know that it wasn’t all fake?”
