At this moment, his hand grabbed her, gripping her arm tightly. Her arm was covered in water, but his palm was dry. The contrast of the touch made Shalma Hughes's heart skip a beat.
Shalma tried to break free, but his grip only tightened.

February 14: Thea Grant said you're very busy, working until midnight, and today seems to be Valentine's Day. February 17: I cremated him myself, then went to the temple at the address you gave me and brought her back; I still couldn't bear to ignore his final wish. February 20: Today Mrs. Lewis asked me when you were coming back. Because I couldn't answer, she seemed to think we were fighting again. Have we ever fought before? February 23: Julian Winslow, if you don't reply to my messages now, don't ever reply."
