As the announcement for his flight echoed through the terminal, Hope reluctantly pulled away. “Don’t forget to eat and get some rest,” she reminded him, placing her hands on his arms.

“Don’t worry, Boss,” Clifton reassured Logan.

“Logan, I’ll take care of Hope as well. So, don’t stress about her well–being,” Paul’s girlfriend, Violet, chimed in, wrapping her arm around Hope’s shoulder for added comfort.
