You’re really strong, Captain Bennett.”As she lifted her head, their gazes met.Her gaze was calm and straightforward, but Christopher’s was festering with emotions.“Are you okay?” His heart was racing as he let go of her reluctantly.“Yes.” Winnie got to her feet.Before entering the car, she paused in her tracks and eyed Christopher, asking, “Captain Bennett, have we met before?
