Hailey wasn’t wearing shoes, but Owen made a dramatic sound of pain, immediately releasing her and letting her slip away. Hailey quickly ran off, looking over her shoulder and sticking her tongue out at him.

Owen stood there, watching her carefree, happy back as she ran. He couldn’t help but smile. This trip was well worth it. As long as she was happy, everything else was worth it.
