Jazlyn’s brows knitted in puzzlement.
Waylen raised a placating hand, signaling her not to delve further.
As Jazlyn exited, Waylen remained solitary, a sense of solitude settling around him.

The impulsive kiss he had stolen from Rena weighed heavily on his conscience.
Furthermore, he bore a debt owed to Harold, one he was intent on repaying. And then there was Darren.
