She bit her bottom lip to steady her trembling jaw, a tear slipping over her lower lashes and trailing down her cheek.
Ian crushed her to his chest. “Why didn’t you come to me? I would have protected you.”

Ian pulled back and cradled her face with both hands, his fingers threading in her hair. He kept his gaze steady with hers. “You are safe with me.”
As his words soaked in, Agnes searched his face and cupped his jaw. “I know.”
He placed his hands on her shoulders. His questioning eyes searched her face. “Red—”
She pressed a finger against his lips. “You’re my protector, Ian. I feel safe here because of you.”
