Blind Date Turned Proposal

Smiling shyly, Summer said, “I was ill recently, and Arnold didn’t tell me when he found you. It was rather remiss of me, so consider this my way of making amends.”

Josie’s gaze fell on her wrist. The bandages had not been removed. She came to her senses quite quickly. Realizing that wallowing in despair does no good, she’s out and about in no time.

The police chief froze at the mention of Arnold, and his smile stiffened slightly. “I couldn’t carry out the favor Arnold asked of me because of certain reasons I can’t reveal. I hope you and your husband won’t hold it against me.”

Summer did not seem upset at all. “That’s just part of your job. There’s no need to apologize. You watched me grow up. Do you think Arnold is someone reliable?”

Upon hearing her question, the police chief promptly nodded. “Of course. He’s responsible, and everyone in Wavery knows how he treats you.”

“He has been good to me, so I want to return the favor. I just feel sorry for him because he doesn’t have many family members around him. My family is among the few he can actually talk to. If it were anyone else, I doubt they’d be able to bear having their father locked up for over a decade, don’t you think?” she replied, showing no sign of hostility.
