"Well, then, thank you, Sumner.

" "You're welcome.

"Sumner smiled warmly.

She smiled gently and replied, "There's no measure of worthiness in a relationship.

It's about my willingness to commit.

" Sumner's lips quivered slightly after a brief pause.

He hesitated before saying, "If one day you discover he's lied to you what will you do?" "He won't Lie to me," Lindsey responded firmly.

Observing Lindsey's unwavering confidence, Sumner slumped his shoulders helplessly, sensing an untrustworthy aura around the man she defended.
