She was unaware that Cayson had heard her words. His features hardened once more and he discreetly
distanced himself from Jennie.
Indeed, Cayson and Loraine had grown up together, childhood sweethearts in each other's eyes. But Loraine’s

natural.
Although the man’s identity was concealed, Loraine was astonished at the unity they experienced on the dance
floor.
