“Is Hannah really okay? Her forehead felt hot. Bryson, shouldn’t we get her to the hospital?”
“Rest assured, Miss Mitchell. She just had a chill from the water.

“I’m okay, see? You’re the one crying.”
Leaning on Hannah’s shoulder, Grace’s Lips quivered before she sobbed, “It’s all because of me… my fault.”
“How could you say it’s your fault?” Hannah reassured her, patting her gently.

The door shut softly, leaving Hannah and Bryson alone.
“Thank you for saving me today, Mr. Mitchell.”
“Do you understand how risky what you did today was?”
Chilled by the sternness in Bryson’s voice, Hannah met his gaze.
