Daniel raked his hand through his hair As if he didn’t have enough problems already

"I ran into Linda Boyd today," his mother started "She told me about the article in the New York Times"

Shit!

If Linda knew, then everyone knew He should have known he wouldn’t be able to keep the article a secret for long

He let out a sigh

"So you know about the article," his irl?" his father asked

"No, of course not" Daniel glared at his father "Sabrina is a respectable woirl!"

"Then ould the paper run a story like that?"

"I don’t know" Daniel sighed "That’s why I went to the city today To try and find out I talked to that gossip colu to retract the story?" his mother pressed Her tone and her eyes were hopeful

He hated to disappoint her "No She claiive up her source"

"But what proof can there be when Sabrina isn’t a call girl? How can they print soht et aith that They must have some sort of evidence," his father insisted

"They have nothing, because there’s nothing they can possibly know"

Daniel took a few deep breaths Maybe it was tiht head on his shoulders He wouldn’t condemn him and Sabrina for what they’d done
