"What is this? He's forcingto declare my loyalty now? Does he ever take anything I said seriously before? What am I to him? Thea wondered.
Noticing Thea's silence, Jake seemed almost pleased. He continued, "Thea, admit it. You still have feelings for m I've always said, you've got a terrible temper. And you're nothing like Madelyn. She's so gentle. But like
