His footsteps pounding on the pavement behind her. He was fast. The streets were full of people, but none of them looked concerned at the woman sprinting down the sidewalk, with a man shouting angrily after her.469Please respect copyright.PENANA8pxFIaJdhL

He gripped her arm lightly. "Just wait, Eden. Wait."469Please respect copyright.PENANAu8u0YBrkbh
469Please respect copyright.PENANAB0lrCnapXV
"Let me go, Daniel."469Please respect copyright.PENANAUQu1ngI6mL

Eden pulled from him and stumbled back into someone. She looked up to see the man from the bar. He was staring at Daniel with a hard gaze, his lips curling.469Please respect copyright.PENANA10cIHBVEsj

"Are you all right?" he asked.469Please respect copyright.PENANAf5Ps9oekP8

469Please respect copyright.PENANA6jx2QX8WTW
"I warned you," he hissed.469Please respect copyright.PENANAaTShm00u3p

After he was gone, Eden shook her head. "Thank you, but I was handling it."469Please respect copyright.PENANA8q4Pc0mByo
469Please respect copyright.PENANAY5Eeg8wg5K
"I'm sure you were," the man replied smugly. "And it looks like so many people were willing to help you with your confrontation."469Please respect copyright.PENANAGpGCHDfI5f
469Please respect copyright.PENANA3tdqJNfX7B
"Sorry if I ruined your night."469Please respect copyright.PENANAeFCffxT8eO
469Please respect copyright.PENANAetSofUMOPT
He shrugged. "My night ended after my last drink. I was just heading home when you ran into me." He looked down the now empty street. "Who was he?"469Please respect copyright.PENANA9LQtasQqaQ
469Please respect copyright.PENANAljJKP3wpCx
"Daniel," she replied, frowning.469Please respect copyright.PENANAepcYmOWGm9
469Please respect copyright.PENANA8GU5NwqHwc
"Is he your boyfriend?"469Please respect copyright.PENANAaHVsWquuQV
469Please respect copyright.PENANAPKGUfzURQk
"Was." She looked into his gray eyes as they walked down the sidewalk. "He's changed a lot since we've been together."469Please respect copyright.PENANAfR2Wihn1Kb
469Please respect copyright.PENANA5MD0G2Im6S
He grinned briefly. "I'm sorry, I've forgotten my manners. I'm John."469Please respect copyright.PENANAMMI6trqQyr
