Emmeline tugged at her little hand, but Abel had a death grip on it and wouldn’t let go. It was starting to hurt, and she winced, “Abel, ease up! You’re going to bruise me!”

Abel finally loosened his grip a bit, but Emmeline still couldn’t free her hand. She huffed in frustration and gave up, resigning herself to being held captive.

Without missing a beat, Abel wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close, enclosing her in a tight embrace.

“It’s so good to have Emma back,” Ethan chimed in, trying to diffuse the tension. “Let’s celebrate with lunch today. My treat, everyone’s invited.”
