Nathan snapped out of his thoughts and gently took hold of her hand.
“Nothing much. He just wants me to promise to take good care of you from now on. Let’s go, it’s getting late,” he replied, attempting to dismiss any concerns she might have had.
Hand in hand, they climbed into the car and headed back to Nathan’s villa.
In the car, Lucinda looked at his pale lips, worry etched across her face.

“No, I’m truly fine,”
Nathan reassured, shaking his head lightly.
