Once Henrik was sure she was settled, he left the room. The moment the door shut behind him, he let out a sharp breath and pulled out his phone. “Meet me in the basement. I need to spar.”

When Rhett arrived, the sight that greeted him was unexpected: a sandbag ripped clean open, its stuffing scattered across the floor.
