Marleyâs right there.
Take your anger out on her, not Debra,â Caleb declared, his cold eyes sweeping across the crowd.
âBut be careful not to hurt the innocent.
â
âCaleb? Whatâs the meaning of this?â Marley stared at Caleb in disbelief.
But Caleb didnât even Look at her.
ALL his attention was on me.
âDebra, are you okay? How do you feel now?â Caleb asked worriedly.
I weakly shook my head.
âIâm afraid Iâm not doing so well.
â
I couldnât stand on my own, and I could feel my legs shaking uncontrollably.
Without looking back, Caleb decisively scooped me up and carried me off.
Debraâs POV:
âs BunnyBookery
âIâm taking you to the hospital.
â
Caleb held me tightly and spoke firmly, but he looked worse than me.
It was almost as though he was the one who had been drugged, not me.
âDebra, please be careful next time,â he whispered weakly.
Touched yet amused, I could only say, âDonât worry, Caleb.
Itâs just a narcotic.
â
âA narcotic? Are you sure?â Caleb asked me with narrowed eyes.
I nodded seriously.
âIâm sure.
So donât bother Brian.
And we donât need to go to the hospital, okay?â
Caleb thought for a while.
He seemed unconvinced.
After touching my forehead to make sure that I was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
âOkay.
Iâll Listen to you.

In the end, Caleb found a quiet coffee shop nearby for us to rest in.
âIf you feel any pain or discomfort, just tell me.
Weâll get through this together,â Caleb said softly, gently running his fingers through my hair.
âOkay, thanks.
â
I nodded, leaned on his shoulder, and closed my eyes wearily.
I donât know how much time had passed before I was finally able to control my body.
To my surprise, I awoke to find Caleb in the exact same position.
He mustâve been afraid to wake me up.
I was touched.
When I tried to stand up and move, Caleb stopped me.
âDonât move.
Rest for a few more minutes.
Weâre still waiting for someone.
