When it came to Julian Donovan, she had to admit he was still in her heart. He had always been there—the only one who ever was. But she couldn't be sure she had the courage to get close to him again. If he hurt her once more, she didn't know if she'd have the strength to bear it.
Lost in these troubled thoughts, she finished her shower. After changing into clean clothes and drying her hair, she stepped out. A knock came from the door. When she opened it, she saw Julian Donovan standing outside holding a bowl of herbal medicine. His stern features seemed to soften in the light. "This is my own special remedy for a cold. Don't you want to meet that person Lara Nash mentioned? Hurry and drink this. It'll help you get better faster!"
He had just gone out to a pharmacy to buy the herbs, then rushed back to brew the medicine for her.
