Suyin opened her eyes slowly as the memories of the fight rushed back. The memory of being attacked made her jump and gasp for air, but a hand was already holding hers.

"You are safe."

Those three words dawned on her like blissful rain, making her anxiety disappear. Suyin turned toward the man holding her hand tightly and stared into his golden eyes. Her heart thumped because of his closeness and his warmth mixed with hers.
