Hannah's downfall

"I just wanted to clear the air, Erasmi. I couldn't bear the thought of you thinking poorly of me." Hannah murmured as she held his hand earnestly, explaining how embarrassed she was for his mistake.

Hannah smiled earnestly as Erasmi stared at her. She'd planned this perfectly. She'd sent him an apology for mistaking his brother for himself and then asked him to apologize to Demetri and his wife as well, letting him know just enough that he would realise something had happened. And then he'd called, just as she'd anticipated, asking about her with concern, she knew she'd succeeded. After all, no man could resist her allure.

"Thank you for meeting me. I just wanted to make sure there were no hard feelings or misunderstandings between us or even between your family and you because of me. I value your friendship too much."
