Just when Nancy wanted to speak, Zachary pressed himself against her. Holding onto her cheeks, he looked at her with a conflicted expression.

Nancy was so nervous that she could barely breathe. Feeling her tremble underneath him, Zachary saw the terrified look in her eyes.

“It is,” Nancy replied without hesitation. “A family’s interest belongs to the family. Love is what belongs to ourselves.”
