“Do you reckon anyone would be pleased to see a house where their partner’s ex once resided? Feeling uncomfortable is quitenormal, wouldn’t you agree?”
Timothy fell silent, picking up on the sarcasm in her tone. He couldn’t believe how composed she was. How had he not noticedher acting skills before?

For some reason, Mia sensed that Timothy was acting strangely today, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint why.
As Timothy gazed at Mia before him, he couldn’t resist reaching out to touch her face. “You bear a striking resemblance to her.”“Mr. Barrett, | understand that your ex-wife looks a lot like me, but | am not her, nor am | a replacement for any woman!
“If you see me as a substitute for your ex-wife, you'll be disappointed sooner or later. I’m not a woman who will simply followyour lead.”
