Sloane sighed. She hadn't know what to expect, but resistance hadn't been it. Ugh. She'd been able to ease herself back in after she and Sisse had reconciled, it wasn't quite like it was, but it was better than the fall.

"Please don't lie to me." It was her one request, no more lying, no more leaving important details out. "What if I wasn't there, would that help? I legitimately cannot do this anymore." IT was so damn frustrating.
