"What's it to you!" Ethan Knight kicked him aside, then pulled Melody Thorne over and put her in front of a huge telescope.
"I did bring you here planning to cling to you like crazy—serves you right for turning me straight!" Ethan said it like it was perfectly justified. "But today it's not just about me pestering you to death. I wanted you to watch a good show!"
Through the telescope, Melody saw inside a café across the street: a specially decorated romantic setup with flowers and balloons. At each end of a long table sat a man and a woman. The woman was Flora Knight, and the man was the one she knew better than anyone—Jared Quinn!
She couldn't hear what they were saying, but Flora kept laughing; they looked like they were having a great time.
