At that time, Josiah was entirely committed to Lysander’s well–being, treating her with such careful attention as though she were something precious and fragile. He wouldn’t dream of causing her any upset.
Michelle’s features softened slightly as she responded, “All right, then I’ll go back and check on her.”
