“Rory finally agreed to the divorce?” she whispered “On his own?”

Kyler nodded, never taking his gaze off her “He signed the that he’s on way back to Savannah now”

She sed back the e a ree? “Did you have a hand in getting Rory to sign?”

His expression gave little away He had his emotions very in check “Would you expect otherwise?”

She hugged herself as the floor dropped out from under her I can’t lose you Don’t do this!

He studied her and sighed “I see anger in those eyes of yours, Ella Care to explain why?”

Possibly defensive because of his distance, all of what she experienced last night rushed into her What he’d done eet and thoughtful, but soo of “I told you to leave it alone with Rory I told you that I didn’t want you involved with hione to Rory, he wouldn’t have arrived last night Now everyone knows about what happened with hi I ever wanted So, yes, that ry”

“I don’t want you to apologize”

Don’t you? her ued

Deep down, she wanted to blame someon
