Two today!
SEBASTIAN. Both women turn to me, relief flooding Annalise’s face whilst Zaia’s anger fades a little. Her face paling and her chest rising and falling rapidly before she looks down at Annalise. “I…I didn’t push her, she fell herself!” she says. My heart squeezes as I look at her, tilting my head.
No. I don’t believe it. She tries to pull free, but I refuse to let her go. “Look me in the eye and say that again.” I whisper. Her eyes flash as she glares up at me. “This child is not yours.” This time she doesn’t bat an eyelid as she holds my gaze and with those words, it feels as if somethin
