Chapter 20 At The Café

• Marcus knew Winona too well to believe she would ever willingly choose to marry Trevor.
• At the banquet, she had been close to confiding in him before Trevor's sudden interruption. Back then, Marcus had been powerless, stuck overseas, and unaware of Winona's struggles. But now, things had changed. He was determined not to let her suffer any further.
• That night, unable to shake his concern, Marcus sent a message to Winona's old phone number before going to bed. The number had been inactive for a while, and he wasn't sure it would still reach her. But his hope lingered through the late hours, even as no reply came.
