Chapter 0244

As Terry pulled me out onto the dance floor, I at least felt the relief of knowing Elva wouldn’t overhear

whatever terrible things Terry was sure to say to me. About me, or about my sister. This worked for me,

Anytime Terry would try to tug me closer, I would push him back. It was a never–ending, exhausting little

game.

“What have you done to my sister?” I demanded.

He laughed. “What makes you think I’ve done anything to her?”

“She would never be with you.”

“Oh, darling Piper. So naïve. I assure you that Jane is my willing mistress. Never once have I forced her

to do anything against her will.”
