ONE heartbeat…
Vincent was going to hate her once he found out that she'd been married off. She knew the kind of person he was. Even though he loved her, he wasn't exactly a rational man. He would flip like a coin and possibly lose his mind.
Two heartbeats…
He might even blame her, scorn her, or even assume the worst.
Three heartbeats…
Who knows what he'll say to her? Would he still look at her with loving eyes, or would they hold hostility?
Four heartbeats…
And Valeric, would he let her go? She doubted it. She had no say in anything, and it was other people who always had control over her life. She'd never had control of anything or been able to do anything she truly wanted.
Five heartbeats…
Would Vincent come to find her?
