Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Ian merely stood there, watching how Susan went about starting the fire. She blew on the blackened coals until red flames really did start slowly appearing.

Suddenly, there was a crackle as the fire flared and spat sparks.

Susan's mind went blank. Before she could react, a hand had already moved in front of her face to shield her, and she felt herself getting pulled backward swiftly.

"Ian? What happened to the two of you? Are you okay?"

Vivian was setting the table in the living room when she noticed the commotion and rushed toward them worriedly.

"Are you okay, Ian? Let me see your hand."
