Chapter 08: I Can’t Believe Her Audacity!

Briella’s POV

--

“Take care, and please... don’t let anyone hurt you. I don’t want to see any bruises when you get back,” he said softly.

“Okay. You take care, too. I’ll call you later once I’m done here,” I replied, trying to sound casual, like my heart wasn’t hammering in my chest and his touch didn’t just send butterflies fluttering wildly in my stomach.
