As Bettie savored her cake, she stole a glance at Tyrone’s figure and blinked. “Sabrina, are
you really not going back because of Tyrone?”
Sabrina arched an eyebrow and affirmed, “Certainly not. There are other reasons. You’ll
see.”

inflicted by the child…
Sabrina paused briefly, a wistful smile gracing her lips as she replied, “Yes.”
Wearing a knowing expression, Bettie ventured further, “Have you carried this affection for
many years?”

anyone else. It was highly plausible that Sabrina’s affection for Tyrone had predated their
acquaintance.
“Yes,” Sabrina affirmed, nodding, a fork poised in her hand. She lowered her gaze and
added, “It’s rather absurd, really. I fell in love with him from the moment I set foot in the
Blakely family.”
Bettie’s eyes widened in astonishment. She had never fathomed that Sabrina’s affection
had spanned such a significant stretch of time. A decade, to be exact…
