Joe snapped out of his reverie, looking at her forced smile, his brows furrowing slightly. The inner conflict and struggle were replaced by heartache and guilt. His gaze suddenly became firm as he raised the bidding card, saying in a deep voice, "Seven million!"

"Eight million!" Cynthia persisted.
