Okay Yeah Maybe I’d known that she wasn’t exactly an intellectual, but I wondered why I’d never realized how narcissistic she was

Maybe because I’d never done so she didn’t approve of before

I’d never told Lisette about PRO, the volunteer organization that my best friend, Marcus Colter, headed up to rescue kidnapped victims and political prisoners in hostile countries

Maybe the fact that I’d never trusted her enough to tell her about PRO should have been a big red flag, but I’d told myself that she didn’t need to know, and that PRO was a secret group The team had all kept a low profile

Honestly, I’d pretty ive a damn, but I’d never aduy I was thinking about all kinds of shit I never had before

Strangely, Lisette had never even asked how I’d gotten into a helicopter crash in a foreign country Obviously, the only thing that mattered was how my injuries affected her

“I suppose I should return the ring,” she said in a nicer tone

“Like I said, we can discuss it later”

“I want this over,” she said “I don’t want to marry you”

Yeah, I’d pretty otten that point, but I couldn’t say that her words didn’t still hurt I was in a pretty vulnerable position, and the fact that my fiancée couldn’t stand to be with ht now

I looked bad I knew that When our helicopter had gone down, I’d been on the side that hit the ground, andhad gotten ether

“Keep the ring,” I rasped All I wanted right noas to suffer in silence without her irritatingly shrill voice la for her

Honestly, since I’d been in the accident, I hadn’t really thought about howto affect the rest of h the day
