A glass of cold water was what finally calmed Samantha down. Heaving a dramatic sigh, she finally looks at me with her eyes resigned and believing. "I do believe you now." She responds wearily while lowering her empty glass on top of the table.
"Are you okay now?" I asked her gently.
"Not yet but I will soon be, okay." She replies, absentmindedly bringing the glass back to her lips only to find it empty so she puts it back down without touching it again.
I couldn't blame her over the top reaction. It's not everyday she encounters a Pandora's box, filled with hidden secrets, lies, and drama.
"At this point, nothing could surprise me now, Bella …. So tell me, is there something more you have to confess?"
