Daniel hugged Maisie tightly, his strength almost suffocating her. It was as if holding her tightly was the only way to

keep her from running away.

"Daniel..." Maisie gently patted his back. "What happened? Can you please tell me..."

smile. "Can we not eat at home?"

fear like this—fear that the sealed-off past would resurface, fear that the old scars would be ripped open again.

Most of all, he was afraid he would lose her forever.

"Maisie, let's get married as soon as possible," he said, his voice strained, almost pleading in her ear.
