"So, Matilda, how long have you been in love with my brother?" The question weighed so long on Sabrina's mind; she finally found the courage to ask.
Matilda could not discern what was going on in Sabrina's mind and felt guilty for never telling her before when Sabrina had been open about her relationship with Robin to her.
"It was during college but I did not want to nurse it because I was afraid that he didn't feel the same," Matilda said truthfully. They had finished eating and the maids were clearing the table.
Sabrina was greatly disappointed, feeling that if Matilda had told her, she would have found ways of hinting it to Devin and Matilda would not have gone through the things she went through in the hands of the likes of Stanley.
"You should have told me. If you had done that, the two of you would have been together and you would have saved him from the likes of Lindsay," Sabrina turned it the other way, to Devin's advantage.
