You actually did this to me,” Wryn whispered to Mark and Catherine over and over again, her voice quaking, growing softer and softer with each...
She was not anxious to repeat what had happened the last time she had let herself into Andrea’s house, but she did not want Andrea to try to get up from the couch to answer the door, either.
