Chapter 36: That Talk

“There’s something else I have to talk to you about.”

“That sounds serious.”

Sean swallowed hard. “It is serious, Colleen. I need you to listen with an open mind.”

“Are you going to talk me out of defending O’Shannon? I don’t want to hear it if you are.”

Sean shook his head, his gaze going to her. “No, Colleen.” I licked my lips. “Remember when I asked if you had ever wished for someone else to get to something and they did?”

“Yes and I’ve been thinking about it and I may have some instances that it happened.”

Okay. That made this a little easier. “So you do recall that happening?”

“Yes, but like I said, I’m kind of selfish.”

Sean smiled at her. “Were they things that person would have gotten anyway or was it most likely they weren’t?”

She looked away from him then back. “They weren’t likely to get them. That’s why I remember them. These are situations I hadn’t thought about in years.”

“You haven’t done it recently?”
