Chapter 520 Did You Just Show Concern For Me (Part One) Raegan's mind was in turmoil, her thoughts a chaotic whirl.

The waitress apologized, "I'm sorry, but we've run out of the seafood stew for today." Ms. Craig, always enthusiastic and thoughtful, noticed Raegan's disappointment and tried to uplift her spirits. She gestured toward a large pot being delivered to another table. "Do
