His reminder made Claire Sinclair realize she was taking her anger out on an innocent person, so she picked up her phone and called Adrian Quincy.
The moment the call connected, she blurted out, "I don't want your dress! I'm going to buy my own!"
"You don't like the one I picked for you?"
"That's right, I don't like it. I don't like anything you give me!"
The man on the other end of the line fell silent.
Claire Sinclair paused, realizing she'd gone a bit too far. But the words were already out, and there was no taking them back. She forced herself to move on.
"Mr. Quincy, it's not that I'm being unreasonable. You've gone too far. You're not just monitoring me at home—you're watching me at work, too. I'm a normal person, not a criminal!"
