His glare alone could freeze someone solid . Without a word , he took off his coat and wrapped it around my thin frame , covering my disheveled appearance , along with the blinding report in my hand . " Let's go home , " he uttered lowly but firmly . He was steady and commanding , enough to make anyone feel safe . They stood on either side of me , shielding me as we left that suffocating place behind . Hylton's shouts faded into the distance . My parents took me straight to our private recovery retreat in the suburbs . The environment was peaceful , and the security was tight . My mom also brought in the best doctors .

" He was no longer the gentle elder but a father bristling with thorns to protect his child . Once I had mostly recovered , my parents invited Emma and Robert over . It was time to end this mistake of an engagement .
