I watched Dorothea Whitmore gently rock her carved wolf pup figurine, humming a soft lullaby. The peaceful scene on the cruise ship felt surreal compared to the chaos in my life. The gentle breeze from the Crimson River carried the scent of wildflowers. I found myself genuinely curious about Dorothea’s condition.

Marcus’s face darkened like a storm cloud. He grabbed my face roughly, his fingers digging into my cheeks.
