Panic shed in her eyes as everyone roared in evilughter. What should I do now?
She blinked. I need to see Abby first
“I’ll repay my debt, Samuel, but could you please let me see my daughter? I’ll call my friend to bring the

Pain wrenched her as the little girl in her arms cried her heart out in terror.
Andrea crossed her arms over her chest and watched the scene unfold with a disinterested expression.
