The unfaithful encounter
“Whitaker is… a fixer. He has connections in places most people don’t even know exist. If he’s involved, things are worse than I thought.”
“And you trust him?” I asked, my skepticism clear.
“No,” he admitted. “But if he can give us a name, it’s a risk worth taking.”
His honesty caught me off guard, but it wasn’t enough to quell my unease. “You keep saying you’re protecting me, but all I feel is isolated and confused. How am I supposed to trust you when you won’t let me in?”
Ethan looked at me, his gaze softer than I expected. “I know it’s hard, Emma. But I promise you, I’m doing everything I can to keep you safe.”
