Ryan's hand froze in mid-air. His eyes flickered with confusion as if he were trying to figure something out. Then, he saw it. My eyes were cold, distant—like I was looking at a stranger. For a moment, Ryan's hand trembled, and his expression faltered. He stepped forward, trying to get closer, but I quickly shot back, "Mr. Menzie, aren't you worried about Miranda getting upset?"
