However, Josiah suddenly felt that something was amiss.

“It’s hard to say. He might have done it on purpose. The balls that puppies usually play with are typically made of rubber. Who would buy a yarn ball for a dog?”

Lysander remained silent.

Uncertain about Lysander’s stance, Josiah timidly asked, “Are you really okay?”

The fall Lysander had just taken was indeed quite, sudden. Her face had landed directly onto his chest, and he could still feel a faint ache there. Lysander was likely in more pain than he was from the fall.

Lysander turned her face sideways. “I’m fine.”

Josiah gently grasped her chin, turning her face back toward him. He studied her features closely for at moment, his furrowed brow easing slightly. “You look fine. There’s no swelling.”
