“Exactly,” Catherine echoed. “I don’t want anything. We’ll pretend it never happened. But if you ever need a place like Aiden said, I’ll be right there. You can come whenever you want. I’ll get you food, chat with you, and listen to your worries.”

Vance remained silent. His mind kept replaying Aiden’s words: “What’s done is done.”
