Katie stayed behind as Mitchel left, apologizing to Raegan, âIâm so sorry about yesterday.
I didnât realize Luciana had given the bracelet to you before.
It caught my eye, so I asked her for it.
Had I known the significance of it, I wouldnât have asked for it.
â
Raegan offered a smile.
âItâs alright.
â
Katie returned the smile.
âJust to clarify, Mitchel and I are merely close friends.
Donât get the wrong idea.
We grew up playing together, and heâs never seen me in a romantic light.
â
Raegan was taken aback by Katieâs candidness and preferred not to discuss it in Mitchelâs presence.
âThereâs no misunderstanding on my part about your relationship with him,â Raegan reassured.
âs BunnyBookery Katieâs smile broadened.
âThatâs a relief.
I would hate to be the cause of any conflict between you and Mitchel.
â
Raegan responded quickly, âThereâs nothing between Mitchel and I.
Donât think too much, Miss Glyn.
â
âNothing between you and Mitchel? How is that possibleâ¦
Katie was about to add more, but Mitchel interrupted, âAre you coming or not?â He sounded impatience.
With a smile, Katie said to Raegan, âI should go now.
Weâll talk more another time.
â
Raegan nodded and stepped into the elevator.

As the elevator doors began to close, she caught a glimpse of Katie playfully nudging Mitchel and saying something with a smile.
Katie, standing beside Mitchel, appeared effortlessly elegant.
They seemed an ideal pair.
As the elevator doors shut completely, Mitchelâs familiar fragrance lingered, now mixed with the scent of another woman.
The scent in the elevator left Raegan with a heavy heart, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.
Upon entering Henleyâs ward, she found the nurse attending to Henleyâs dressings.
The sight of the raw wound, wrapped in gauze and tainted with the mingling scents of medicine and blood, unsettled Raeganâs stomach.
She was trying to compose herself when the nurse asked for assistance.
âMiss, could you help me with the gauze?â
At that moment, Raegan couldnât contain herself any longer.
