Chapter 211

• Colson’s apology still rang in my ears the following day, as did his promises. I believed that his story was true and that he felt he truly had been protecting me. But believing it and agreeing with his plan were different things.
• In my mind, a million choices could have been made to avoid our fate. The past couldn’t be changed, but I was determined not to make the mistake of allowing myself to be hurt by him again. I may have feelings for the man, but that didn’t mean I needed to let him sweep me off my feet. We weren’t young, dumb kids anymore. Now, we had Jenny to consider.
