Can’t Win Me Back

Justin gently laid Alyssa down on the back seat of his car.

Moments later, Sean came running, out of breath.

"Ms. Alyssa, are you alright?" Alyssa forced a smile despite her conflicting emotions.

"Don't worry.

I'm fine." Justin, not allowing Alyssa to downplay the situation, spoke up matter-of-factly, "She was almost hit by a truck.

She fell on the same leg she had injured in the previous car accident.

I'm taking her to the hospital to make sure she didn't aggravate the old injury.

" "How did that happen?" Guilt washed over Sean.

"Ms. Alyssa, it was my bad.

I failed to protect you!" Alyssa shook her head.

"It's not your fault, Sean.

Everything happened so fast." Turning to Justin, she said, "Thank you for saving me, Justin, but I don't want to trouble you.
