On a beautiful weekend afternoon,
Cherish Turner wandered alone in a bustling bookstore filled with men and women. She had originally planned to spend the weekend with him, but early in the morning, William Griffith received a phone call and hurriedly left. At the time, she was preparing breakfast and had just warmed up the milk. He hung up the phone, quickly changed his clothes, and was obviously about to leave.
When she asked him what was wrong, he said, "Emma Hall is going to the airport, and Benjamin has to appear in court. They want me to take her."
So it was that Miss Swan? Cherish felt a moment of confusion before she instinctively understood.
William lowered his head and kissed her cheek gently, his deep eyes filled with tender laughter. He nodded and said, "She really is just Benjamin's wife."
Before leaving, they agreed to contact each other by phone after sending Miss Hall off.
