Holding her sister's hand, Tessa followed her out into the living room. Sitting down across from Scarlie, she listened as her sister said his name. and how she felt. Wow! They really had missed out on a lot of each other's lives.
Opening her mouth and closing it again, Tessa wasn't sure how to react. "Wow, Scarlie... Okay.. wait! You can't distance yourself from him. Why would you do that? You never feel this way about men... That must mean he's not like all the rest you deal with and that means he's a good guy. Why would you want to distance yourself from that?"
