Chapter 130

• "Karl...I forgive you." Lavinia eventually spoke those three weighty words after taking a deep, steadying breath to brace herself.
• The words hit Karl like a raging wave, unexpected and utterly overwhelming.
• Before he could even begin to fully process the magnitude of what she had just said, Lavinia leaned in close and her soft lips met his in a kiss filled with the entire spectrum of emotions from their painful past - the anguish, the heartbreak, the bitter disappointment and shattered trust.
