Rafe stood off to the side with a smug expression that could light up the room. Anyone who didn't know better would've thought Eliza had just praed him.

Sophie shot Rafe a murderous glare, deaf to Eliza's words.

'It's Eliza. She's come to save us,' Adeline thought excitedly.

Dale gave her hand a reassuring pat and whispered, "Steady now."
