Guilt Quote by Mira Lyn Kelly
““Connor felt the burn of anger mingling with his guilt. He knew Caroline had been hurt, and he was truly sorry for it. If the barbs she was throwing had been directed at him alone, he would have taken them. But they weren’t. “Caro,” he said, lowering his voice as he leaned closer””
