"Rhys gave you the..." Harlee nodded, and Kareem frowned. It hadn't occurred to him that someone seemingly so loyal to Anika had been quietly setting her up.
He knew how much Harlee resented Matteo-a thorn in her heart that she could never ignore.

"You're the best, Kareem." Sure enough, Kareem's stern expression relaxed into a smile.

Harlee lay motionless on the bed, her face devoid of emotion, with not al single trace of accusation in her eyes. From the moment her incident occurred, she had waited for Rhys for thirty-seven hours.
During that time, he hadn't bothered to show up even once. She was om thoroughly disillusioned. She had always believed disappointment hit like a force of nature-intense and overwhelming. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
