Sophie knew deep down that she didn't want Colby to hide things from her.
But she wasn't stupid.
What Gordon had hinted at earlier was practically spelling it out for her.
Colby's grip on Sophie's hand tightened, his voice low and serious, "I love you."
Those three simple words didn't roll off his tongue as smoothly as they used to.
Colby gently stroked Sophie's hair, saying, "Don't overthink this, just give me some time, okay?"
There was a touch of pleading in his voice.
A tone Sophie had never heard from him before.
Colby was definitely keeping something from her.
And it was something big.
Sophie picked up on these signals from Colby's tone. She asked, "Have you cheated on me?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Am I not your first?"
"You're the one and only."
"Have you done something against your principles?"
"No."
Colby's responses were almost frantic.
Sophie smiled, feeling a wave of relief. "Then I'm not worried."
Colby seemed to freeze for a second.
Sophie went on, "What I want is a man who loves me unconditionally. He doesn't have to be rich or powerful, but he has to love me, respect me, and be willing to stand by me for life, never betraying me. Can you promise me that?"
