Jordan seemed to come back to his senses and said, “Okay.”

His hand slowly moved away.

Jordan buried his face deeply into Milly’s shoulder, the warmth he felt barely pulling him back to sanity. Stephanie’s near–lifeless state just moments ago had brought back haunting memories of seeing Milly in

This time, he was here, and he would protect Milly.
