Abby couldn't help but watch Connor's self-confidence crumble away. It was impossible not to wince at his lost expression. How dare Caroline twist him like this! As they walked away from the grave Abby held his hand.
"Did you mean what you said after the Mer incident?" she asked him.
He looked at her, what was the point in lying?
"Every word."
That was just what Abby needed to hear. She stopped to face Connor, noting with considerable pleasure Caroline watching them from a distance. Abby kissed him.
