Tyrone’s tone grew sharp as he demanded, “Aella, do you even know Victor? Do you have any idea what kind of man he used to be?”
He was exhausted, but his eyes flashed with anger.
He met her gaze. “Aella, you’ve got your parents and a younger brother who depend on you. Don’t risk your life so carelessly!”
His voice was harsh as he added, “What if I hadn’t shown up in time? What if you’d gotten hurt?”

His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his voice trailed off.
Aella said, “So, as long as I didn’t die, you never cared how badly I was hurt. My needs never mattered, and you let my feelings spiral out of control. That’s your idea of admitting you were wrong?”
Tyrone fell into a gloomy silence, unable to answer.
Aella’s tone softened. “Tyrone, the only reason I brought you to the hospital was to avoid more trouble for myself. I’m terrified of every single Winter man–old or young. Please, just let me go.”
