    “Expensive?”


    “Mmhmm…” Reba mused. “Just these? They’ve got to be worth at least a grand, right?” She eyed Sherilyn, puzzled. “You didn’t buy this yourself?”


    “No.” Sherilyn shook her head.


    How could she afford it? If she knew Gilbert had spent so much, she wouldn’t have epted it.

    Fearful she would say something harsh, Edgar quickly interjected, “I won’t be able to see you every day anymore.”

    Edgar’s eyes were intense, shimmering with determination
