Wide-eyed with surprise Rachel said, “I wouldn’t have thought you were informed about this matter Mr. Blake. But thank you for your understanding. By the way, Jason and I met in Guilford during our final year at the University of Surrey. When I first met him, my heart spontaneously ignited with a spark of romance that could have devoured the entire rainforest of the Amazon.”
