Her eyes processed the image and delivered a verdict to her brain. 

The man was Austyn McCarthy, not a dappelcancer.

Kira replayed the call in her head 

It was more than two hours ago 

Austyn said he had to work 

She used the time to settle the debate raging in her head and to workup her courage. 

She had dean.

Gina locked both arms around Kira’s waist like a sumo wrestler and hauled her away from the door. ‘While I’m all for giving them their just punishment, I don’t think a beating is going to solve anything. For one, you can’t possibly overpower your husband. He’s a lot bigger and stronger than you.”

Sure, sure. But he has those, ton. And he has bigger fists and longer legs.” 

plana, whose side are you on?” 

“Yours, of course! I’m just trying to make sure you don’t do something you’ll regret later.” 

This had always been the dynamic of their friendship. 

Whenever one of them was about to lose her cool, the other had to calm down and be the voice of reason. 

Kira was on the verge of tears. Then what? I should just sit back and do nothing? Just watch them make a cuckold out of me?” 

“Um. I don’t think that’s how the word is supposed to be used.” 

“I don’t care!” 

All rational thought went out the window the moment Kira saw Austyn with a

“What?” 

“You can’t beat them up, but there is something you can do–recon. See what the other woman looks like before you…engage the enemy. 

Kira was still fit to be tied, but Giana had powerful arms and Kira couldn’t break free of her hold 

Then the sound of Austyn’s old–fashioned ringtone drew her attention. 

Both girls pressed their faces up against the glass pane. 

Austyn got up and walked over to the window as he answered the call. 

Kira got a good look at the woman’s face 

Her entice body went still. 

Her blood stopped flowing. 

Deborah Connelly was sitting up in bed, clutching a wet tissue in one hand. 

Kipa forced herself to check again 

There was no mistake 

The woman looked as beautiful and fragile as the first time i 

Kid saw her 

She wore a blue–and–white hospital gown, with a navy blue jacket draped over her shoulders. Auryn’s jacket. 

Kira felt as if someone had bludgeoned her over the head, 

Black dots swam in front of her eyes 

Austyn was with Deborah 

They were already reunited with each other. 

Kira thought about the past twenty–four hours sho’d spent, agonising over the decision to come clean. 

She had been filled with self–reproach, thinking she was a bad person for keeping the truth from Austyn 

What a joke

Kira looked down and realised she’d deg bernails into Glana’s armi 

She withdrew herhand. “Sorry.” 

Never mind.” Gana took Kita by the elbow and dies her aside. What’s wrong? 

Kla’s face was flushed with anger a minute ago.

Now it was white as a sheet. 

Kira blinked. 

She caught Giana’s hand. ‘Let’s get out of here.” 

“Now? What about the recon? 

Kira didn’t answer. 

She took the stairs and kept walking until they’d left the hospital building, 

Kira, I still think it’s a misunderstanding, Giana ventured to say. ‘Just now in the ward, your husband and that woman didn’t do anything inappropriate. Maybe she’s just a friend.‘ 

Giana regretted calling Rica. 

She’d made her friend miserable, 

Kira smiled weakly. 

she would have agreed with Giana if it had been any other woman. 

Should we go back? Maybe we can talk to Austyn, see what he has to say, I’m sure he can clear things up.” 

“No, I don’t… Kira covered her face with her hands. ‘I don’t want to go back there, Giana, I just want to go home.” 

There was no misunderstanding 

The woman was Deborah–Austyn’s first love, his fiancée, the woman who took a bullet for his mother, the woman who would live on in his heart forever. Kira thought she was prepared for whatever reaction Austyn would show once she told him Deborah was alive. 

She thought she could bow out gracefully and give them her blessing if Austyn chose Deborah.

The call came from Trinidonia,

Each day, she was one step closer to the grave 

She wished to see her daughter–in–law at least once before she died.
