The moment she spotted Trent, Sidonie rushed over and threw herself into his arms. “Are you mad at me for being too impulsive today?” she asked. “I swear, I didn’t mean to single out Quinn. I was only thinking about safety. That’s the only reason I acted the way I did!”

“I get it, I didn’t handle it well. That’s why it all went south. Honestly, if Quinn had just told me earlier that her parents were war heroes, that those were the ashes of fallen heroes, none of this would’ve happened! She did it on purpose; she wanted to see me humiliate myself!” Once again, Sidonic laid all the blame squarely on Quinn.

Trent looked down at the woman in his arms. “But didn’t Quinn’s friend yell that those were the ashes of fallen heroes? You just didn’t believe it.”

Sidonic stiffened. “Trent, are you taking their side now? Didn’t you say you’d always be with me, no matter. what?”

Trent’s lips pressed into a thin line. He didn’t respond to that. “Let’s find somewhere to sit down and get something to cat,” he said instead.

“All right,” Sidonie agreed.

But the moment Trent turned around, a sharp flicker crossed her eyes.

Trent’s attitude has changed. Is it because of what Quinn said before she left? I need to make sure I erase any doubts that might have settled in his mind.

They headed to a restaurant near the airport and settled into a private room. After ordering two coffees, Sidonie started talking.

“After what happened today, I’ll need to take some time off work,” she said. “But I’ve been thinking, it might actually be a good chance for me to go with you to Yarburn. I can introduce you to my mom’s side of the family and help you build some local connections.”

Trent nodded while sipping his coffee, but his thoughts were elsewhere. At that moment, only one thing. really mattered to him. “Sidonie, I need to ask you something,” he said seriously. “Who really pulled me out of the river that time?”

As soon as the question left his mouth, Sidonie’s expression changed. “Trent, what are you even saying? Are you doubting me now? All because of what Quinn said before she left?”

“No, no! I’m not accusing you of anything. I just want to know what really happened back then.”

“Didn’t I already explain it to you?” she said, feigning irritation. “I found you in the river and pulled you out. Then the ambulance showed up and took you to the hospital. You got treatment right away. Everyone saw it happen!”

But the cold sweat in her palms betrayed the calm tone in her voice.

Trent clenched his jaw.

A lot of people had seen it, so I shouldn’t be doubting. Yet, I can’t shake off the image of Quinn’s expression when she made that last remark. She was so certain, so filled with disdain, almost like she was the one who saved me.
