Chapter 60 Every Man for Himself

• It was late into the night and while I was tired, I was far too restless to sleep. Roy, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly next to me.
• He told me he was jealous because of my involvement with the two brothers from the Spencers. As a result, I was duly and sadistically punished for making him feel that way.
• Did his jealousy stem from his concern for me and I allowed myself the possibility that he actually cared for me—that I was more than a pawn to him? Then again, I couldn’t discount the male ego that could have underscored his possessiveness; perhaps he didn’t like the idea of other men touching me before he could get the best out of sleeping with me. Maybe he simply wanted his wife to be loyal to him, no matter how paper-thin the marriage might be.
