“Do not—” he narrowed his eyes “—presume to judge me, Beth. We still don’t know why you’re involved here.”
“Well, it’s obviously just a massive coincidence.”
His silence and flat expression told her what he thought of that. “I can offer you a good price for your lease.”
She blinked. He wanted her gone that badly he was willing to buy her out? “I don’t want to leave. I want my house.”
