He leaned in close, listened intently, and confirmed that Elgin was murmuring “Letty.”

“Who’s Letty?” Hawley asked, “Could it be… Letitia?!”

The butler nodded, “Yes. The only word Mr. Ramirez has uttered during his unconscious state has been ‘Letty.””

Letitia sat by the bed, her palm gently resting on the back of his hand.

She dared not move too much for fear of touching his wounds.
