Marissa stared at him, utterly speechless. She pressed her hands against his chest, attempting to push him
away, but he didn’t budge. He stood there, immovable, as solid and unyielding as a mountain.
She was left with no option but to let him hold her. “Connor, what do you actually know about Everett?”
Connor shrugged lightly, his voice carrying a hint of indifference. “I've hardly seen him before. Everett moved
overseas with his grandfather at a young age and has seldom been back to Blebert. He's been off my radar,
really, so my knowledge about him is quite sparse.”
“Was today the first tyou've seen him as an adult?”
“That's correct,” Connor affirmed with a nod.
Marissa paused thoughtfully before probing further. “What struck you the most about him when you saw him?”
Connor's lips curled into a slight smirk. “He’s not particularly striking. Sargue his looks could match mine,
but | find him considerably less appealing. Frankly, he’s rather plain. | can’t imagine any woman taking an
interest in him unless her vision was compromised.”
With a tic eye roll, Marissa sighed. Love rivals always seemed to cwith claws out. Connor, of course,
was ho exception, spinning his own web of lies to make Everett look bad.

Yet, she chose not to engage in a futile debate over something so petty.
After rolling her eyes, she responded with a calm, collected voice, “What about his other qualities?”
It seemed Connor's denigration of Everett had somewhat lifted his spirits. With a more relaxed demeanor, he
asked, “What else would you like to know?”
“Telleverything,” Marissa said. “What was your first impression of him?”
Connor didn’t hold back. “Everett seems completely impotent,” he declared with a snort. “Anyone who ends up
with him might as well be a widow. No joy in marriage, no kids—nothing.”
Marissa’s jaw dropped in disbelief. She fixed Connor with a piercing look and demanded, “Can you stop joking
around for just a minute?”
Connor's laugh was soft, tinged with mischief. “Okay, okay, I'll cut it out. But really, why are you so curious about
my first impression of Everett? Is there something you're hinting at?”
Marissa leaned in, her voice dropping
