“There’s no need; I can get back on my own.”

“Just go inside,” Landon said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

Tessa nodded, recognizing his goodwill. She didn’t dislike Landon’s presence. In fact, deep down, she felt an odd sense of comfort and even a little anticipation when he was around–though she couldn’t explain why.
