Elias reached into his medical kit and pulled out a pill, handing it to her. "If you take this pill, it will make you weak and in a lot
of pain. Once I see you're struggling. I'll bring Finley back and lock the woodshed door behind you two. Spending the night together in there should warm things up between you two."
Samantha eyed the pill he offered, and curiosity tinged with suspicion. "What's this pill?"

As he walked closer, he noticed her bare knees, bruised and swollen.
His expression remained blank as he pulled out a box of ointment and gently applied it to her
wounds. Seeing her bandaged hands, he carefully removed the wraps, revealing dried blood beneath. He disinfected the wounds with alcohol, applied fresh ointment, and rebandaged them with care.
After doing all this, he lingered beside her for a moment before preparing to leave, Just then, Samantha stirred and opened her eyes.
She reached out and caught his arm.
Finley glanced down at her hand gripping him, his voice cool and detached. "Let go."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"If you're here, why leave so soon?"
He replied, contradicting himself, "I'm here for Amy, not for you."
