“I harbor no resentment toward Haven for her decision,” Collin interjected smoothly. “I merely speak the truth. In fact, I owe Haven my gratitude. Had she not fled, I would never have met Linsey.”

As he spoke these words, his typically austere expression melted into something surprisingly tender.

“Perhaps fate was guiding us all along.” Collin turned once more toward Linsey, his gaze softening with an affection that transformed his entire countenance.
