"I see then..."
"Yeah. It's complicated, but I care about him, and I know I'm the right woman for him."
Madisyn felt her throat tighten as she listened, the weight of the woman's words sinking in. It was unmistakable—the person she was talking about was Ethan. Suddenly, it was clear why this woman had viewed her with such animosity when Madisyn first arrived. She'd seen her as a potential rival, someone who could threaten the connection they shared.
