The Price of His Redemption

Gideon felt a little hurt at being excluded, but frankly, he knew they needed the time together. He backed off even farther, heading for the door. “I’ll let Dominique know she’s stuck with me later. Maybe I’ll get lucky and she’ll decide to go over to a friend’s house.”

Gideon was ready to move on, once and for all. 13
