Tara Sutton sighed. "Cousin, I know what you're saying, I just don't understand... If he doesn't like me, why does he keep leading me on?"
Tara Sutton's eyes were filled with sadness. "Last time, he said he wanted to talk to me alone, that he had feelings for me. I was so happy, I'd even thought of names for our kids!"
Nina Donovan: "..."
Shawn Hawthorne, who was eavesdropping nearby: "..."
He was speechless. "Get a clue. Believing a man's words is like believing pigs can fly."
Tara Sutton puffed out her cheeks, looking a little gloomy. "So I can't believe you either?"
Shawn Hawthorne thought about his objective.
The Donovan family, the Sutton family... both were targets marked for destruction by that big shot in Valengard.
He stuck one hand in his pocket, looking every bit the rogue. "Of course. I'm a bad guy. I could trick you into losing everything you own."
