No wonder Nancy Hughes was so resistant to the idea of a relationship.
"I'm so sorry, too." Thinking of Zane Lennox filled her with guilt.
It had been almost a year since the incident, yet she still hadn't come forward to accuse Theo Heston to the police.
Sometimes, she'd have nightmares and dream of Zane Lennox.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on the back of her hand. She looked up and saw Zachary Stone's hand covering hers. "Nancy, you have to look forward. You can't stay stuck in one place."
"I know!"
For a moment, she wanted to pull her hand away. But after seeing the look in Zachary's eyes, she didn't move, letting him hold it.
Throughout dinner, Nancy was on edge. She had no appetite and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
After they finished their meal, Zachary suggested, "Would you like to go for a walk?"
"Sure!" she replied.
The restaurant was right in the city center, just a few minutes' walk from the pedestrian street.
