Chapter 18 No Refunds

• Susan smacked the back of her head. Man, he's unreliable. Guess I was being desperate back then. Her smile soured, and she almost teared up. She had a feeling Eric wasn't taking her business seriously.
• Eric said nothing for the longest time, and she started crying. Guess that's it for the fake boyfriend plan. She said through sobs, "I had no other way. You know I've been cooped up in that house for the entirety of my marriage. I couldn't even get close to any other males. You're the only hope I have." She tried her best to force some tears, then she glanced at Eric.
• Only after she started crying did Eric keep his sharp gaze hidden. Susan had to keep crying until she was out of breath before he would agree to help.
