Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Before noon, Alyssa hurried back to Heightsnew Villa.

Upon hearing her return, Colene immediately rushed down from upstairs. "Lyse!"

"Colene!" Alyssa hurried to greet her, and the two women hugged tightly. "Thank you for your help this time."

"Don't say that. I'm already grateful that you and Jasper don't blme. You don't know how scared | was."

"Please don't say that. Even if you hadn't intervened, we would have found a way to get Xavier out."

senior members have other ideas. They don't listen to him, making his efforts an uphill battle."

Alyssa fell silent for a moment before gently asking, "Colene, do you want to go back and see Mr. Waters? If | remember correctly,
