perfect match.

Stella watched the scene unfold with a face as blank as a winter sky, yet she felt a tightening in her throat as if a

So, Haynes was at the hospital to pick up Rachel. And he saw her being humiliated.

Haynes furrowed his brow and gently nudged Rachel away. "Rachel..." he began, but then he saw Neville
