Kasumi shook her head, her voice firm. "No, this can't be true… You don't know anything about Jack… He is nothing like that…"
Standing invisibly there, listening to the confrontation, I was surprised that Fumiko could analyze things so clearly—that I was lusting after Kasumi's body. But she was wrong about one thing: I would never hurt Kasumi… or any of my women.
I heard Kasumi's thought, her voice bitter and resigned. [Hmm… What do you know…? I should have never come here…]
Fumiko noticed Kasumi's angry look, her voice softening. "Kasumi… I am not advising you as a doctor, but more as a friend…" She paused, her gaze serious.
"If not for yourself, just think about your daughters… If I am right… If Jack is really lusting after your body… once he gets what he wants, he will leave you and your daughters after that…" She leaned in, her voice urgent. "Hurting your whole family… Can you really let that happen?"
