Thaddeus didn’t have time to dwell on the shock.

The cliff beneath him was collapsing!

“Ilana! Quick!”

In his panic, Thaddeus blurted out a name he hadn’t spoken in years.

Evadne’s pupils shrunk as her heart pounding wildly.

This call mysteriously injected her with a strange strength that allowed her to scramble to the edge of the cliff at the last moment, throwing herself into Thaddeus‘ arms.

With a tightening grip, he held her as tight as he could.

Boom!

In the last second before the collapse, Thaddeus shielded Evadne with his body and rolled away at an incredible speed, narrowly escaping disaster.

“Uh!” He grunted in pain as his back slammed into a rock. The impact sent a cold sweat down his face, quickly blending with the rain.

“Are you hurt?” Evadne lifted her head from his chest, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at his pale face.

“No.” Thaddeus suppressed the pain, not giving away any signs of discomfort in his deep voice.

Evadne, still shaken, let her soaked body collapse against his heaving chest, taking a deep breath.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Thaddeus looked at her, his wet lashes heavy upon his eyes, his voice hoarse.

“What?” Evadne’s heart fluttered as she avoided his intense gaze.

“Why didn’t you tell me our first encounter was thirteen years ago? Why didn’t you tell me you were the girl I saved here all those years ago?”
