A Graduation Gift
Chapter 9 Are You Really That Desperate
The two men, equal in stature, stood scowling at each other with Cassandra in between them.
The atmosphere in the living room quickly turned hostile. Even Horace was at a loss for words. The girl who pretended to have blacked out in Rufus's arms lay still, quietly determined to carry on her performance until the very last minute.
