All this time, she kept pretending like nothing happened between her and Rhett.
But deep down, she knew there was a gaining distance between them.
Especially today, Kaitlyn's appearance totally messed things up and made her feel a crazy kind of panic she'd never felt before.
Kaitlyn didn't even do anything, but just showing up flipped their world upside down.
Elise could only hold the man in front of her even tighter and asked, "Are you still blaming me?"
Rhett didn't move, letting her hold him. He didn't say yes or no. "Blame you for what? You didn't do anything wrong."
Elise's grip got tighter.
She felt this coldness creeping up in her heart, but she still stubbornly held on. "...Are you still blaming me for what happened with Kelsey?"
At that, Rhett's body seemed to tense up a little, but then he turned to face her. His voice was low and calm. "You were also a victim in that. Why would I blame you?"
