“They all said you were dead, Jeremy, but I didn’t believe any of it! I knew you wouldn’t leave us so easily! I’m so

mention Corinne’s name. She was back after she helped Pamela take a seat at the police station.

an opportunity to make false accusations! When did I lead you to the ruins? I wouldn’t even dare to step foot
there!”
