Felicity tugged at her lips, her eyes suddenly brimming with tears, "Langston, I lied to you last time. I never... with Calvin... we didn't..." "I know." "You do?" Miles raised his hand as if to chastise her, gently tapping her forehead.

You can't hide from me!" || || "Let's not have a 'next time," he said, wiping away her tears gently, "I'd really go crazy, okay?" Felicity's long, dark lashes trembled as she nodded, "Okay."

"I wasn't sick,ing to Anglonia with Everett was mainly to get sanswers for Langston." "It was Everett's idea?" Karen's voice was sharp through the phone.
Dorothy chuckled, "Yes." "I knew it! That plan couldn't have been yours." Karen had to say it! She and Jeffrey must have kept their lips sealed then, but how did they find out?

How could he possibly just 'get over it'? How could things possibly be okay? "Heh, don't be mad, okay?" "If you wantnot to be mad, that's easy. Just convince Felicity to say yes to marrying Langston sooner, so he can finally be at ease." Otherwise, her son would keep floating in limbo.
You'd say he's fine, but each of his smiles seemed hollow, only superficially happy.
