Stephanie, what’s going on? he asked, rushing to help her stand.

Stephanie was a mess, looking pale, with her arms scratched up from the tumble and blood on her lips, almost like a rag doll that had seen better days.

“Stephanie, talk to me. Are you okay? Where does it hurt? You’re freaking me out!” Xavier’s voice was filled with worry.

Barely catching her breath, Stephanie whispered. “Xavier, is Milly alright?”

And just like that, Xavier felt his heart drop.
