Katie stayed behind as Mitchel left, apologizing to Raegan, “I’m so sorry about yesterday. I didn’t realize Luciana had given the bracelet to you before. It caught my eye, so I asked her for it. Had I known the significance of it, I wouldn’t have asked for it.”
Raegan offered a smile.
“It’s alright.”
Katie returned the smile.
“Just to clarify, Mitchel and I are merely close friends. Don’t get the wrong idea. We grew up playing together, and he’s never seen me in a romantic light.”
Raegan was taken aback by Katie’s candidness and preferred not to discuss it in Mitchel’s presence.
“There’s no misunderstanding on my part about your relationship with him,” Raegan reassured.

Katie’s smile broadened.
“That’s a relief. I would hate to be the cause of any conflict between you and Mitchel.”
Raegan responded quickly, “There’s nothing between Mitchel and I.

“Nothing between you and Mitchel? How is that possible…
Katie was about to add more, but Mitchel interrupted, “Are you coming or not?” He sounded impatience.
With a smile, Katie said to Raegan, “I should go now. We’ll talk more another time.”
Raegan nodded and stepped into the elevator.

Katie, standing beside Mitchel, appeared effortlessly elegant. They seemed an ideal pair.
As the elevator doors shut completely, Mitchel’s familiar fragrance lingered, now mixed with the scent of another woman.
The scent in the elevator left Raegan with a heavy heart, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.
Upon entering Henley’s ward, she found the nurse attending to Henley’s dressings.
The sight of the raw wound, wrapped in gauze and tainted with the mingling scents of medicine and blood, unsettled Raegan’s stomach.
She was trying to compose herself when the nurse asked for assistance.
“Miss, could you help me with the gauze?”
At that moment, Raegan couldn’t contain herself any longer.
