Summer Thorne didn't immediately realize what he was asking.
She hadn't appeared at social functions for a very long time, but in these past two short days, it felt like she had run into so many people.
Especially since Timothy York was present for all of them.
Other people would have been one thing.
For two days in a row, the appearance of Iris Pryce and Gale Fawley kept reminding her that her relationship with him wasn't actually so secret.
Even if neither of them had pointed it out directly.
But their words and actions had already said more than enough.
'If their relationship were ever completely exposed, what would he have to face then?'
Her mind was currently consumed with this, so it took a long time for Summer Thorne to react to what Timothy York meant by "other things." Only then did a glimmer of understanding finally dawn on her.
