Harlan smacked the back of Aaron's head. “You've put an innocent girl in harm’s way. The two of you are still in

college. Why did you take her to a place like that?”

Denzel swiftly intervened, his voice soothing. “Mr. Clarkson, please don’t be angry. Nothing happened to Adalina.

here?”

Milford leaned against a pillar, his face bearing the evidence of the recent scuffle: a swollen bruise on his cheek
