Slipped Words
Jared's eyes widened in surprise. "What do you mean?"
"I heard it from reputable sources," Nick explained. "They've pulled back, no doubt about it. And I think it has something to do with your wife's meeting with Lydia Sutherland."
Jared let out a breath, his chest tightening. Jerica met with Lydia? He couldn't immediately piece together the Sutherland family's intentions, but one thing was clear: if the Glovers were shifting their strategy, Jerica might be at even greater risk. He felt a cold knot of fear settle in his stomach.
She wouldn't give me up. That much he was sure of. But what did that mean for her safety? Could he protect her if he continued his quest for justice? Or was his mother right—was it time to let go, even if it meant leaving unfinished the work that had consumed so much of his life?
