They hadn’t expected the girl to be saved by the King of the Washington social circle! Wasn’t she an orphan?

Jack carried Alice out in the private elevator. She was nestled against him, covered by his jacket, unable to see clearly. Her mind was a jumble. Her fingers dug into his collar, knuckles white.
