It seemed that I was right to entrust him with so many responsibilities. After all, even you hold him in high regard,” said Salvador, his voice breaking through Malcolm’s thoughts….

rarely voiced her opinions, and hardly ever spoke so much at once. Zoey had raised her according to the manners of a noble young lady, teaching her to keep her emotions in check and not let others see her true feelings. Because showing emotions was like exposing a weakness, making it easy for others to…
