Brenna tilted her head slightly, a small smile playing on her lips as she looked at Ethan, who towered over her.

"Thanks for today," she said.

She could have handled the situation on her own, but having Ethan step in had made things easier for her. She figured he at least deserved a word of gratitude.

Ethan's lips curled at the corners, his expression thoughtful. There was something oddly familiar about the woman before him, though he couldn't place where he had seen her before. That was why he had interfered- otherwise, someone like him wouldn't usually get involved in other people's matters.

He found himself naturally drawn to someone that exceptional.
