Faye's eyes twinkled with intrigue as she listened to Bonnie talk about the things that Merrick had revealed to her after Sterling had her.
Faye questioned, "Bonnie… Did Merrick mention why Sterling had treated me so indifferently at first?"
Then a realization hit Bonnie like a tidal wave, and an intense scarlet blush covered her face as she understood the consequences of her loose lips.
Her careless chatter had flowed too freely, carrying her away in a whirlwind of words, betraying her husband's confidence.
"I really should not have mentioned all those things," she mumbled, bowing her head. "I am sorry, your Grace. But Merrick did not go into further details."
"It's okay," said Faye in a timid voice.
She sensed Bonnie was uncomfortable with giving her any more details. "I was just curious. Rest assured, I will maintain the utmost discretion regarding this matter."
