Anastasia shook her head, pouring herself a drink and downing it in one go, “Monica, the cat’s out of the bag. I can’t keep lying to Herman.”

“Who hasn’t told a fib or two in their life? It’s just a little white lie, you’re taking it too seriously. You think Herman has never lied to you?” Monica asked.

“Anastasia, have you lost your marbles?” Monica countered strongly, “Why did you give her up back then? Because you were scared it would ruin your happiness! If you find that child, you and Herman are done for.”
