Daisy was fine, but Charlene ended up crashing into Granger.

Instinctively, Granger wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in, securing her safely against him.

The sudden closeness to his broad chest took Charlene by surprise, making her uneasy. She attempted to push away but then noticed something was off with her foot. Granger didn’t release his hold. “Twisted your ankle?” he asked.

“It seems like it…”

Granger called over a staff member to look after Daisy while he bent down to scoop Charlene up in his arms.

Charlene had thought he would ask a staff member to help her. Being suddenly lifted by him, she was a bit stunned and then protested, “Put me down, I-”

Granger cut her off, “The medic’s already waiting. Let’s sort out your foot first.”

Charlene paused, then stopped struggling.
