Laura stared at him in disbelief. \u201cYou\u2019re kicking me out? In the middle of nowhere?\u201d she asked, her voice trembling. Mark\u2019s eyes were hard, his pride louder than reason. \u201cYou can call your sister.

She still loved him\u2014or perhaps the version of him that no longer existed.<\/p>\n
