Goodbye, My Love

“Dad,

Marina may be simple-minded, but she would not fabricate such a tale.

If there was nothing amiss with Marco’s past, would she mention it unwittingly?”

Jefferson contemplated her words with a solemn expression, and then a mischievous grin spread across his face.

“Well, well, well. Seems Like we have something on Marco!”

Reminiscing about Marco’s audacious behavior earlier, Jefferson’s Lips curled into a sneer.

Marina, overwhelmed with guilt and fury, averted her gaze and dramatically recounted the events of the evening.
