no right to them!”
“So the bond between you two has turned into nothing but trash?”
“You-" she sputtered, fury rising.
“Good,” Derrick cut in smoothly, smile widening.
Marie froze, staring at him. Was this man insane? She couldn't follow his logic, and frankly didn’t care to.
Elsewhere, Abraham had just cback from the medical wing with Stella. She'd been queasy all morning, and

“If you called to whine about fairness, you've got too much ton your hands,” Abraham growled.
Derrick sensed the air freezing over, wisely changing course. “That's past. I've moved on. After all, you did throw
