Chapter 355


    When Ronan noticed my spirits gging, heforted me, "You can rest up here for a few days. We


    need to give them some breathing room over at Goldenvale. Once Jan and I have wrapped things


    up here, we''ll turn up the heat on Goldenvale. Jan won''t know what hit him and he''ll be forced to


    make a choice. During this time, you''ll be safer in Silverdale."


    I was impressed by their meticulous nning.


    "I''ve got a hunch that Jesper is more than he seems," I said to Ronan. "He seems to know a lot more


    than he lets on, like he knows exactly why Jan came to Silverdale."


    "Caleb''s got him under control," Logan interjected casually. "Right now, the priority is your safety, Allie.


    As long as you''re fine, we can go all out."


    "I''m not the one who''s scared," I teased, looking at Logan. "It''s not like I''m tying your hands!"


    "You''re quite the little tiger, aren''t you?" Loganplimented me with a chuckle.


    Everyoneughed, and I felt my cheeks warm up with a blush. ncing at Ronan, I saw his smile was


    even brighter.


    After hanging out with Hannah for a bit longer, Ronan urged us to head back. I knew he wanted to


    avoid drawing Jan''s attention prematurely.


    Before we left, I turned to Larkin with a smile and said, "It seems you''ll have your hands full from now


    on, Larkin."


    "Ms. Wilburn, you''re too kind. It''s my duty," he responded with sinct formality, never one to waste


    words.


    Hannah gave Larkin a sneaky wave and whispered, "Catch youter!" as we walked away.


    In the car, I nced at Hannah and teased, "So, love isn''t sweet? Because I''m pretty sure I can smell


    honey in the air."


    "Aaliyah, don''t jump to conclusions. We''re just teammates," Hannah said, trying to cover up.


    "I''m not jumping to anything," I feigned innocence, "I didn''t mention you, so what are you exining


    for?"


    Hannah was speechless for a moment, her face flushed with a hint of embarrassment as she red at


    me. "Seriously!"

    I changed the subject to spare her any further awkwardness, as she clearly wasn''t ready to admit


    anything. "So, he''s your shadow, huh?”


    "Right! I''m by your side and he''s in the shadows not showing his face, but don''t worry, he''s definitely


    not far away!" Hannah said with certainty.


    “I''ll be in Oldtown Avenue for the next few days, hardly venturing out. Tell him to take it easy and rest


    up."


    Hannah''s eyes lit up at the mention of Larkin. "He''s incredibly capable. Among us, he''s the standout—


    brave, meticulous, and decisive. No one can match him. He went to Northern Myanmar on a mission.


    He''s been there for two years, and he just came back!" Hannah continued.


    Northern Myanmar again, it seems like Northern Myanmar was really eventful.


    "No wonder he’s so tanned." I spat out.


    "Tanned? He’s a lot thinner. It''s tough over there!" Hannah exined.


    "Sounds like he had quite the stint in Northern Myanmar," I noted.


    Eventually, I suggested a shortcut back. "It coulde in handy in an emergency," I exined. Reаd at

    Hannah agreed eagerly. "I''m good with directions. Show me once, and I''ll remember it forever."


    I led the way, and we continued our journey in silence, the narrow path allowing for little else.
