Raegan’s concern wasn’t for Mitchel, though. She wanted to prevent Janey from growing fond of someone who might not always be around due to health issues.
Mitchel offered a resigned smile. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. It won’t happen again.”

“Have I changed much from before?” Mitchel examined his reflection on the car’s LCD screen, which showed no noticeable difference. Yet, Raegan’s remarks had planted seeds of doubt regarding his once-unquestionable allure.
