“As for the assault and murder charges you’ve got against him, obviously he would me. He still wanted to look good in my eyes.”

At this point, Estrella asked, “Given the aspects of Nick you’re pleased with, have yo thought about marrying him?”

“Marriage? I’ve just clawed my way out of that pit. I’ve money, men, and freedom of
