The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 556

Up to that point, Shane was unsure of Yvonne's feelings for him. However, what she said proved Sasha right. He asked, "What did you want to talk about?"

Shane was touched by the offer. Sasha had gotten a fat bonus on top of her monthly paycheck, but she refused to treat him to anything more than a hundred dollars. And yet, Yvonne, who only lived off a paycheck and had no bonus to speak of, had offered to buy him any food he wanted.

"You don't have to scrimp on my account," Yvonne said patiently. Shane was her pawn-and a capable one, at that. She saw no harm in treating him a little nicer than usual. She wouldn't want to lose him if someone came along and made him switch sides. She added slowly, "I know you haven't had a full meal in the last couple of days."

Shane suddenly understood just how much she cared for him.
