“Alright, alright.” Linda gave Ernest’s hand a reassuring pat. “You don’t have to worry. Nyla already gave Denver her approval, so there’s nothing to be concerned about.”

He met Ernest’s gaze. “You can rest easy. My feelings for Hadley are genuine, and I’ll make sure she’s happy.” Ernest seemed to relax a little, though a slight crease remained between his brows.

Ernest was now awake, and that was what mattered the most.
And the truth about the past would have to wait until he had fully recovered.
“Let’s go.”
“Yeah.”
