"Your sister's been worried about you since you moved out, Tiff. I kept this from her because I wanted to surprise her. I thought you'd appreciate being able to tell her the truth in person when we're all together," Eric said. Tiffany gnashed her teeth. "Fine. You guys head over. I'll be right there." A few minutes later, Tiffany opened the door. William was scrolling through his phone as he waited outside.

She walked a few steps away from him, then turned to say, "Aren't we supposed to head to your house?" They got into the car. William reached for Tiffany's hand. She avoided his touch.

Tiffany's heart sank at his words. She turned to look at him. "Did you tell Eric about this?" "Yes, I did. I know Teresa's the person you care about the most in this world, Tiff." "That's a low blow!" Tiffany snapped.

He pursed his lips. "That's betweenand him. All I know is that his crisis will be resolved as long as you listen to me. If you don't, whatever he's facing will be the end of him. Teresa will get dragged into the fray." Tiffany clenched her fists. "Do you think I'll give in to your threats?" The light turned red ahead of them. William stopped the car and turned to meet her angry gaze. "I'm not. threatening you, Tiff. I'm giving them a chance to survive for your sake." en Tiffany stared at him. Suddenly, she found him to be both familiar and a stranger. Was he really the sguy she'd dated for over a year? In the past, she'd only found William to be gentle and warm.
