Chapter 27: HARLEY: Thomas

"Then go ahead," he said. "Tell me. I want to know."  

He still wouldn't let go of my wrist, holding me in place as if he knew I would step back if he let go. I cleared my throat, saying, "Well, since this has already been made public and they are asking questions, why don't we give them what they want?"  

Sylus tilted his head at me. "Give them what they want? How do you mean?" 

"We make the marriage public, simple."
