frowned, completely lost. “What do you mean?”

Sean’s behind bars, which means she can’t sleep at night. That sudden medical emergency? That was her doing. She pulled the trings to get him out on medical parole.”

Well, she clearly doesn’t know me very well anymore. Let’s go see what’s left of my dear ex-husband.”

Looking at how pathetic and desperate she was, I reached out and violently pinched her chin, forcing her to look at me.
