Reflecting on his six-year marriage with Selena, he realized it hadn't been exactly joyful. Plus, he just didn't feel anything for her now-nothing strong enough to consider taking her back.
When it cto their kids, he'd accept that reality. But as for everything else? He needed to think it over. Carolina's tense heart finally eased. If Everett had lingering feelings for Selena, things would get tricky. Her son was always headstrong, not one to be easily persuaded.
