Chapter 189 Wd

• Eddie’s POV
• Taking a deep breath, I launched into a hurried explanation. The story Jenna had concocted about a bad investment, and my reluctant agreement to let her stay. I left out the part about my suspicions of her motives, not wanting to give James more ammunition to question my judgment.
• James listened patiently, the only sound his occasional "uh-huh" or a low whistle. Finally, when I finished, a long silence stretched between us.
