Sherilyn's mouth slightly agape, was at a loss for words!

She had thought, sneaking off to see Edgar, might tick him off! But never in a million years did she expect this!

"Aren't you barking up the wrong tree?"

Finally regaining her composure, Sherilyn chuckled and shook her head, "Shouldn't you be grilling me about why I went to see Edgar?"

"You heard me right. And I didn't ask the wrong question."
