“What did Colin say to you? Belan asked gently, placing his hands on his knees
Cynthia had rehearsed her script a few times while waiting for him. She also decided not to be his burden anymore. She shook her head, not planning to talk about Colin “Brian. I want to talk to you about my internship,” said Cynthia.
