After sending Holy back home, Zac felt like he needed to explain himself a little bit more about what happened at the ball that day. He was sure that Essie was convinced with Holy's words and would punish him mercilessly, or maybe even get him sentenced to death.
He would die even more severely and miserably than a convict in the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp.
"That night at the ball, Leila and I only attended as friends. There's nothing more to that," Zac said defensively.
Essie contemptuously sneered deep inside.
'Friend?

"I know." On his face appeared a wry and wounded smile. Zac realized that Essie didn't care for him at all. Her heart was set on Hanson. Essie was only by his side because he didn't want to let her go, and forced her to back into his life.

one thing I learned from what Holy mentioned was that a married person should avoid such suspicious behaviors.
