“I know exactly what you’re trying to say,” Stella told Warren slowly as she stared at the floor. “You’re thinking that Weston would eventually lose interest in me if I just let him do whatever he wants to do to me, don’t you? Well, trust me, I’ve tried that, and it didn’t work.”

“But now it won’t just be you letting him do whatever he wants,” he patiently explained. “It would be his whole family letting him do whatever he wants. There’s a big difference there.”
