Her cheeks were streaked. “Scarlett, you know what, since I married you, I promised myself that I would never do anything that might endanger my life. Do you know why? It’s because I’m a family man. I’ve always been like that. I don’t want my loved ones ever to be worried about me….”
When she heard that, Scarlett knew she was wrong again, so she just stayed quiet.
Francis continued, “I never doubted that you’re basically a pro racecar driver… but I couldn’t help but worry about you. How did you feel when you heard that I had a car accident? How do you feel? Does your heart hurt?”
“I feel like I’m in hell!” she answered

She was worried that Francis would overhear the conversation, so she had run into the bathroom and was speaking as quietly as she could to avoid getting found out.“We gotta use our wisdom to defeat them!”Scarlett knew that Eve was in the same boat as she was, but Eve was hardly thinking straight right then. Scarlett disconnected the call and sauntered out of the bathroom.

How long was the flight from Lisbon to Irving anyway? And didn’t you have a stopover in Dallas?”Scarlett rested her head on Francis’s shoulder and said, “Well, I wanted to go to bed early last night.

What’s going to happen to us while you’re gone? At least try to see if you can come back sooner….” Francis moaned unhappily.
