Chapter 802

• One of the main reasons Vanessa wanted to go home that evening was to talk about the whole situation with Joanna. Vanessa had told her briefly about her acquaintance with Sullivan, and the older woman had sensed that something might come of it; but neither of them could have expected that it would happen so soon.
• When she got home, she immediately pulled Joanna aside for an intense talk in the first-floor den.
• Joanna didn't need to be told. When she saw Vanessa's flushed face and disarranged clothes, she knew the state of affairs.
