Chapter 26 - Deanna

My mind runs through all the various things that have happened to me in the last few weeks. 

I can’t focus on the meeting, even though I know I need to.  Instead, I sit in the conference room listening to Ryan and Cliff talk.  From time to time, Nathan and Dotty pop in and ask questions, too.  However, I sit silently off to the side, not contributing a thing. 

Even though on the outside I’m quiet, my mind keeps swirling around with one thought constantly bubbling up to the top, my conversation with Nathan at lunch.  Even though I didn’t give him any answers, his questions hit a little too close to home. 

A wave of fear washes over me as I glance around the table at the others.  The only one from our company sitting here who doesn’t know exactly what is going on between Connor and me is Nathan.  However, his suspensions have him pretty close to the true. 

My eyes drift over to Ryan.<
