At the same time, I filed for divorce with Harvey. Nathan and I hit it off. We agreed to return home right away. The Granger family had business back in the country, too.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" "No..yes, all you have to do is be a better alpha than Evanna was because she was the best we have had." with that he stood up.
