Selena's eyes briefly showed a hint of disappointment, but she quickly hid it. With genuine surprise, she asked, "Dr. Campbell, what brings you here?"

"Doctors often volunteer for rural medical trips, and I happened to have some free time, so I signed up for a trip here."

Callum's gentle gaze fell on her fresh, makeup-free face, her skin so flawless it was as if a goddess had wandered into the human world.
