Excerpt:Sophie followed Paolo out of the door. It was ridiculous that she was forced to do this. Follow him like some crazed lovestruck maid.
I have more self-respect then that surely? I have to know the truth. Not knowing is driving me mad.
She saw him by the bar leaning close to another woman. She laughed as she squirmed on his lap.
Sophie reeled. She retreated from the tavern, mind racing as she tried to register what she’d just seen.
He’s cheating on me! How could he!

She was going to find out the truth. She was going to confront him once and for all. At least she would know the truth, even if it broke her heart for she was sick of living a lie.
