Summary
Anne looked at the young man in front of her. He was probably her age, and certainly no older than Prissy Andrews. He was handsome, too. Not quite as fair-haired as Cole, but not so dark-haired as to remind her of someone she'd very much like to forget just now.
"It's fine, really," Anne assured him. "It was my fault. It…" It always is. She'd tried to keep the waver from her voice, but now she knew she wouldn't be able to trust it.
The young man certainly seemed to notice. "Are you injured?"
Anne shook her head and bit her lip against the tears she knew would run contrary to her assertion.
The young man looked skeptical. "Well, in any case, let me assure you that you were not at fault, and allow me to make amends." He offered his hand. "Royal Gardner."
