“I advise you to steer clear of Hannah! If you wish to avoid another visit to the police station, maintain your distance!”
Declan’s countenance grew somber as he retorted, “This matter does not concern you, Lydia; it involves Hannah and me.”

Inwardly, she muttered, “Return? I have no intention of returning at alu!”
Upon Lydia’s departure, Alick gracefully ventured into the fitting room, garments in hand.
