She locked eyes with Gwen. 'You are a thief. You stole sfe. What do you think he doe he embers everything"

Owen's shoulders stiffened.

Kira continued, "Or have you decided to give up on that hopeless romance? After all, you did such a good job of hiding it, Gideon had no idea youwere in love wi him. In fact, he told me the two of you were just Erlends. Gwen flinched as if slapped. "What?

Kim nodded and feigned commiseration. Tonce jokingly asked if the two of you were dating. He was very quick to deny it. In fact, he said you were nothing more than an acquaintance to him,"

The colte wgs jumped.

Her eyes turned red with rage.

Her face was thashed crimson

Wrath and humiliation and hurt took turns attacking her.

How could Gideon say that, after all she'd done for him?

She gave up her face and her identity for him.
