Raegan was teetering on the brink of a fall, but Mitchel’s swift hand caught her.
The next instant, Raegan tumbled into Mitchel’s embrace, the water bottle escaping her grip.
Surrounded by jagged rocks, a fall could be disastrous.
Instinctively, Raegan clung to Mitchel, her face against his sturdy chest.
And there, against him, she heard the rhythmic assurance of his heartbeat.
Raegan took some time to recognize the overly close nature of their stance.
She inhaled sharply and leaped away from Mitchel’s embrace.

Her reaction made Mitchel’s attractive features darken.
He said harshly, “Drop this trick. The mountain’s crowded, and I have no interest in you.”

Disturbed by their stares, Raegan shot Mitchel a glare, turned around, and ascended silently.
She soon noticed the same group of men taking a break ahead. Their gazes were unsettling.

With a face etched in caution, Raegan retrieved her walkie-talkie, a gift from Bryce, and called out, “Bryce, where are you now?”
Silence answered. The battery was dying, and those men had noticed.
One quipped, “No fear, we’re decent folks. We can negotiate a price.”
Anger whitened Raegan’s face, and her resentment toward Mitchel deepened.
His words had painted her wrongly in these men’s eyes.
