Joycee’s Reviews > Sophia White and Her Seven Promises > Status Update

“Simply and honestly, I love her. I am not the exact same man that I was when I was with Mary so I feel that the love I have for Sophia will only ever belong to her.”

I cannot imagine anyone else loving her the way I do. I cannot guarantee your daughter's happiness. All I can guarantee is that if she chooses me, I will love her the way she deserves to be loved.

Faine hadn't been able to be there for Mary's last moments. He hadn't been there for her at all and the misery of knowing she had gone through all of that alone still tore at him. There was no way in hell that he was going to leave Sophia's side while she straddled the line between life and death.

“I forgot that you were incapable of being helpful without also serving up a good side dish of asshole.”

He huffed and said, “She needs a physician.”

Dylan covered Sophia, swearing some more. “You. You mean that she needs you.”

He had spent years working in crisis situations, perfecting his clinical mind to handle the chaos and uncertainty of saving a human life. But this wasn't anybody, this was Sophia and his mind couldn't focus on anything but the paralyzing fear that dripped from him like filthy river sludge.

She remembered her charities but, as a lady, she had always been a step away from those she helped.

Faine could be that connection she was missing. They could work together to accomplish so much.

Spoiler?

Irregular heartbeat. Yellow. Foxglove.

“Were you a soldier, Mr. Stokes?”

“Ah, I see you do remember a bit about me.” She shook her head.

“Perhaps I am proficient at making educated guesses.”

No wonder she had never remembered any of her past life. A part of her had probably been happy to be rid of it.
