When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Emery lowered her head, deep in thought.

“Nothing! Some things are best experienced yourself. If you think that engaging in a lawsuit with the Stovall family is the right thing to do, then do it. But I know that rather than the outcome, some people will be happy just to see you alive and well.”
