“Are you implying I do not care for him?”
“You have nothing to lose.” She stared at him with misty eyes. “You, Blaine, and your families. You will all go on with your 50/50 war,” she said,
“But me?” She poked her chest with her index finger, “I am the one who would be losing it all and may never be the same.”
Kan stood still, staring at her, torn between pulling her to himself in a hug or shaking her up and asking her what she had done with that man in the elevator.
