Chapter 101

• Rachel and Ed sat down and she leaned towards the other woman. "Is your gut telling you Ed is being dishonest?"
• "No. My instincts are telling me to trust my husband's estimation of Edward but... six women! I've seen too many friends taken in by a pretty face only to be crushed emotionally."
• Rachel dropped her eyes to the surface of the table and took a deep breath as she gathered her thoughts. When she looked into the anguished eyes of the woman across the table. "Listen, five of those women pursued an innocent young man and by any means we could devise lured him into our beds because we were lonely or bored or looking for a way to feel alive again. We never expected to connect emotionally to him or to find someone capable of so much compassion. Edward doesn't lie. It isn't in his nature but you have to be willing to see it. I'm truly sorry you aren't. Let's go Edward."
