Nathan Fawcett heard this and looked at her, noticing that she did indeed seem a bit weak.
He was, however, quite surprised that she was offering an explanation.
Nathan Fawcett said, "What's this? Had a change of heart?"
Not long ago, she wasn't the least bit interested in him.
He'd had to resort to threats and coercion.
Anne Sutton nodded. "Mhm."
Anne Sutton said, "I thought about it all night. Since you're not involved with Ms. Shields, I feel no burden being with you. To be honest, I kind of like you."
'Even though she knew Ethan Linden couldn't possibly have any genuine feelings for her.'
'She even suspected he was just looking for a fling.'
'But she really, truly liked him!'
Ever since he came into her life, she had felt a profound sense of security. It was almost as if Nathan Fawcett himself were by her side.
Nathan Fawcett stared at her. Her "I kind of like you" had caught him completely off guard.
An indescribable feeling surged through his heart.
