"But I care!..." Tara Summer lost her composure, screaming out, her voice nearly tearing apart.
The man tensed up, even able to imagine the expression on the woman's face on the other end of the receiver, surely one of heartbreaking anguish, deeply filled with self-blame.
With heartache unbearable, Liam Yancey's eyes reddened, his voice becoming low and soft, "Tara, it's okay, really it's okay. Pretend nothing ever happened, and let's go home. We'll have the wedding right away, okay?"
The man's tone was completely pleading. As Tara listened, her tears flowed even more fiercely, and her heart ached even more.
She clutched her chest, her features intertwined, feeling not only heartbroken but as if her entire body was in pain!
