Jamie looked at him but still said nothing.

Soren continued, "I'm happy for you, but at the same time, I can't help feeling a

This time, Jamie finally responded. "Why are you upset?"

"Because my Jamie doesn't belong to just me anymore."

with amusement, yet she felt an odd weight settle on her chest, making it hard to
