A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 344

She hadn’t quite figured out how to bring it up.

But since Suzanne had asked, there was no point in beating around the bush.

When Suzanne realized she could genuinely help, she let out a relieved sigh and agreed without hesitation. “Just tell me—if there’s anything I can do, I will.”
