We reached the main floor, and I stood there staring down the corridor toward the front lobby.What would Kristin think of all this?Would she be willing to speak to Joseph?Work with him?I wasn’t sure, but if it meant freedom, then maybe she would.
“Well, you have about four months to prove to me that you are true to your word.I know for a fact that she will return to us after a year is up.Once she does, if you have convinced me that we might have a chance, I will speak to her on your behalf.”
