Christine was sharp as a tack, immediately catching on to Dailey’s game.

This guy, all high and mighty on the surface, was actually testing her.

If she asked Merritt to leave, it would play right into his hands.

“Imagine, a young man calling Jane at this hour. What do you think, Gregory would do?”
