Calum blinked as he watched Cat, listening to her explanation, and he knew it must have been so hard to see her friend go through something like that. “I’m sorry,” he told her gently as he watched her, taking her in, amazed by her beauty, even in a time like this when she was explaining something so difficult. “I get it. I understand. You were doing a bad thing for a good reason.”

She looked away as she listened to Ashton speak, ducking her head slightly. “So, what, you’re gonna let us leave with the money?” she asked, unsure, not willing to lift her gaze or meet his.
