No Strings Attached

Chase's laughter was laced with triumph. "Great, we can't miss such a joyous occasion. Godparents have to be there."
After hanging up the phone, Clara stood frozen in place, unable to shake off the shock.
lan walked in just in time to witness her daze. He strolled over and kissed her swelling belly, chuckling, "What's on your mind that's got you so spaced out?"
Clara's eyes sparkled with mirth as she looked up at him. "You were spot on-lan, Sasha, and Chase are an item now."
lan's brow furrowed. "What do you mean by 'an item?""""

He leaned down to kiss her lips. "Clara, I hate to see you suffer like this, cooped up all day, but the situation is still dicey. I can't risk anything happening to you or our baby."
Clara smiled understandingly. "I know. Everything will get better once Leonora is sentenced. How's the case going? Has she not confessed yet?"
lan's gaze darkened for a moment. "The evidence in the other cases is overwhelming. She won't escape justice. But with Katherine's case, the victim has no memory, so Leonora won't confess, and we're at a standstill. The only way forward is for Katherine to regain her memory and discover her true identity."
"But Brodie mentioned that for Katherine to fully recover, they might have to use exposure therapy to recreate the original traumatic scene. Wouldn't that be too cruel for her?"

He pulled Clara into his embrace, kissing her forehead repeatedly.
