But Levi will explain everything, but not here. We can’t risk anyone hearing what’s said.” “Okay.” My mate whispers. I am so honored to have Sophie’s trust so early on. She’s been through so much, but she hasn’t lost herself to the trauma. I’m not saying Sophie wasn’t affected by what happened to her; that would be ridiculous.
