“Ellie,” Alex yelled impatiently, his voice sharp as he called after her. He had just started to step into the street to follow her when Haley, who had just gotten out of the car, stopped him.

Haley’s gaze landed on Ellie’s disheveled appearance, and an inexplicable sense of satisfaction washed over her. She tugged on Alex’s arm, urging him back toward the car. “Alex, she’s not a child. At most, she probably just got scratched by some woman. It’s nothing serious.”

Haley’s expression brightened momentarily before tension crept in.
