Roland bolted over, thinking the worst. Mr. Riley, are you alright? he asked, panic in his voice.

Collin didn t answer. He stared at the tightly shut bedroom door upstairs, his face like thunder.

What had gotten into Linsey? From yesterday until now, she had been on the warpath.

Lucky for her, he had the patience of a saint. If not, she would be neck-deep in trouble.
