Audrey … blind ? How was that possible ? No , that cant be right … She was fine .

Shes probably run off somewhere .
Josh considered Heathers words .
Maybe she was right .
Duncan was a man of status .
Even if he hated Audrey , he wouldnt secretly hide her on his wedding day .
But where could Audrey have gone ? She couldnt see was she in danger ? Josh turned to leave , but Duncan grabbed his arm .
Heather , panicked , tried to pull Duncan back .
Duncan , let him go ! Duncan glared at Josh , who returned the stare with seething hatred .
