last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Rowan POV

Hanna is going to cut the line that connects me to her. 

She would tell my sister what she had done, and in doing so, she would finally be free of the guilt and would be finally free of me. 

If she came clean with Briana, I had no reason to pull her back.  She would eventually discard me. 

I would not have any hold on her. 

She is taking out the excuse I used to get her to my side. 

That drove me into a state of panic, and without thinking, I did what I had to do. 

I grabbed the phone from Hanna

We didn’t have to talk in a hush to avoid being heard by other patrons.Jeff looked like he swallowed a lemon.

Answer me, please?”My plea must have gotten to him.He looked ill at ease, but then, after a while, he nodded slowly.“I am sorry.” He told me.“I don’t want to embarrass you.

Penelope had a wonderful time. “Dad-dy!” She squealed and jumped on her little feet to evade the coming waves. “Bubbles!” She would cry in gibberish, pointing at the sea foam that crowded her feet and ankles.

Then, she would stroll toward the waves again, repeating the same actions until Flint rescues her.“You are silent,” Flint said when he deposited Penelope beside me.
