Truth. I’ve told them the truth. Scarlet drifted off to sleep. Holden and Charlie were in the main room. “What do we do now?” Holden asked.
“What do any of us do? She told us the truth. At least I think so.” Suddenly, Charlie was angry. “Why did you know before me? I’ve known her longer.”
“I found out on my own. Besides, you broke her heart. This was her vengeance.”
“I’ve told her every damn secret that I have!”
“Except the most important one.” Holden replied calmly. Charlie looked at him quizzically. “The secret that says you love her.”
“What do you know about that?”
“Everything and nothing.” Scarlet stirred, and soon walked into the room. The men turned to her at the same time. Ignoring them, she walked to the coffee pot. “Holden. Charlie. There is more to the story. Much more than you can imagine.” She avoided their eyes. “But if I tell you, I would have to kill you.” Her smile was weak.
