Colin’s hand was clearly injured, a sign of deliberate harm. He couldn’t use a fork, so he was clumsily holding his bowl between his palms. Hesitant at first, he finally set the bowl aside and retreated into a corner in silence.

I softened my expression and reached out to him. “Let me take a look at your hand.”

Colin was naturally guarded, but after a long pause, he gingerly extended his injured hand to me. Seizing the opportunity, I examined it closely from all angles, relieved to find no trace of the scarlet birthmark that belonged to the person who had tried to end my life.

His response was quiet, his large, beautiful eyes reflecting a mix of innocence and intensity.
