Chapter 31 Dangerous Ground

A secret like that could ruin their engagement forever, and Roselyn knew that perfectly.
• "Brent," she said, her voice steady, but I could hear the underlying current of anxiety. "What are you doing here?"
• "Well, you told me you wanted to talk to the detective today and get some updates about the situation with Robert Perry..." He stated, approaching us with certain discretion. "I finished my meeting early and thought I could help you, but I'm glad your friend is here."
