Jeremy glared daggers at Terry, who broke out in a nervous sweat. 'Who...is he? Why does he look so intimidating?' wondered Terry.

Once Jeremy's eyes shifted away from the father and landed on Corinne, the grimness in his gaze softened. He arched an eyebrow and opened his hands slightly. "Did you miss me?"

Corinne looked at him, her clear eyes on the verge of welling up with tears, but her tone still lacked warmth. "Where have you been? Why didn't you reply to my messages?"

Jeremy walked up to her and wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her into a warm embrace. He then rested his chin on her shoulder and answered softly, "I threw away my phone to avoid being tracked. After escaping from the airport yesterday, I had to take care of some things.
