Again and again every sentence rewound inside her, again and again the movie in her head jumped to where he said, "I'll take care of it." me about your debts and you will be my wife, ”and over and over her horror at the suggestion fell upon her with a vengeance.
She wasn't really sure what had happened next. She vaguely remembered yelling at him to get out of here and never see her again.
"You should just think it over," he said and walked to the door while she did She could also remember his amused smile at her unpleasant expressions. She also remembered that she had thrown the folder with his papers after him in anger when he had already closed the door behind him.
That was all she knew, she had no idea how she had survived the rest of the day in the office Even as she had actually come home, she was now sitting on her bed, completely burned out, unable to sort through her emotions and not even able to cry. Anger and shame rose within her.
Anger at Ryan Summer for daring to suggest such a thing to her, and shame that she found herself in a situation that had made it possible for him to treat her in the first place. to worry about more. Her mother called for dinner and she had no choice but to go downstairs if she wanted to avoid Chiara coming upstairs and asking her uncomfortable questions. Pale and absent-minded, she forced a few bites of lasagna in.
"Mom, I need some money" Meanwhile, Betsy explained to her mother. "John and I want to travel together for a few days." Chiara Mills frowned at her younger daughter.
"Betsy, I don't think that's a good idea," she said, "you haven't known each other that long, and I don't want to think about all the things that can happen there."
"What's going to happen great?" Asked Betsy annoyed and blushed, of course she knew exactly what her mother was talking about.
"Bethany Mills, I don't think I have to give you a lecture on bees and flowers now," Chiara said sternly.
"Oh, mom, come on. After all, I'm not a little kid anymore. Besides, I really like John, and I promise you I won't do anything stupid, ”Betsy whined, looking at her sister for help.
"Kim, why don't you say something."
Kim startled. "What?”
“Hey, aren't you listening? I want to go on vacation with John and Mom won't allow it. Can you explain to her Without waiting for an answer from her mother, she got up and went upstairs to her room.
Mechanically she undressed and lay down in her bed. She saw the satisfied face of her mother, who had never had to work in her life, and did not suspect that they were on the verge of financial ruin. And she thought of Betsy, who had just started college and was confident that there was enough money to make her little wishes come true, and she wouldn't be able to keep the company secret for much longer. She didn't want to imagine how the happy smiles on their faces would disappear from one second to the other, the thought of it hurt her too much.

Two mocking gray eyes bored into her head instead, turning the slow onset of sleep into an excruciating nightmare.
