Chapter 206

• You are. That has never been in question, Daniel. My trust in you has never been in question. But, look at how you're getting over this. I needed time to tell you about Sophia and I." Regina takes a step forward toward Daniel, locking her eyes with his. "But, be honest with me. You aren't talking to me as a friend. Right now, you are talking to me as a man." She sees Daniel's gaze drop to the floor. "Daniel."
• Daniel looks up at Regina with a frown.
• "I'm sorry for hurting you like this, and maybe disappointing you. But, I need you to know that the relationship Sophia and I have now, I will never be sorry for that." Regina lifts Daniel's gaze to meet hers again. "And now that you know about us, I'm going to need you to be exactly what you've always been. The bestest friend I can always count on. I have enough worrying about the what-if's if Leopold were to ever find out I'm going to be seeing Sophia in secret. Especially Elise. I don't need a reason to start worrying about you, too."
