“If you can spare a moment, perhaps you should check on Sally. Her fear of water might have traumatized her,” Oliver suggested.

Despite Oliver’s words, Nathan remained silent, his back to Oliver as he strode away with purposeful steps, leaving no room for further

Suzanne’s reluctance to see him was understandable, but every fiber in him ached with bitterness and pain, leaving him profoundly unsettled.
