Dixon doesnât want to see anyone.
â
His words were unmistakable.
Mitchel had made it clear he did not wish to see her.
Her hopes dashed, Raegan persisted, âWhen will he be done? Iâl wait outside.

Dixon, can we walk for a moment?â
Mitchelâs face turned icy.
âNo,â he said sharply and walked on.
Raegan, having waited for hours, couldnât let him leave.
