"Mom, Remi's got no patience for this stuff..."
Shirley couldn't believe it when Remington actually stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.
"You're going on blind dates?"
She was stunned, not expecting him to care about her personal affairs. Ever since she was subjected to a prank involving hot sauce by Remington, their cousinly bond had grown quite thin, with Remington treating her like she was invisible.
"Who says your Remi doesn't care? I'm right here asking, aren't I? Spit it out," Mrs. Dashiell urged, nudging Shirley, who nodded in a mixture of surprise and gratitude.
"I... well, I'm at the age for dating and marriage, right? They're all from our social circle. Mom says it's better to know their background, so I thought why not go for blind dates."
"What about Hogan? Weren't you all over him before? Suddenly lost interest?"
Remington's gaze was piercing.
Shirley nervously licked her lips and shook her head, "I... well, it's just not happening. He's not into me at all. Can't keep throwing myself at him, can I? So, I gave up. Don't like him anymore."
Remington stared at her for a moment longer before shifting his gaze to the photographs Mrs. Dashiell was holding.
"Sounds good," he said, then strode upstairs with Ray following behind.
Once in the study, Remington turned to Ray and instructed, "Check out what happened between Shirley and Hogan, will you? And that woman in the parking lot too."

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
