Henry didn’t flinch. His eyes were hard, as if he had already made his decision. “I will not let you harm her again..”
The words hung in the air, thick with tension. Annie, still standing in the doorway, remained silent. Her heart was beating in her ears, the weight of everything she had just witnessed crashing down on her.
