"You don't know how close it was, just by that tiny bit. If Thomas had been even a little slower, Scarlett would've ingested it. I still get scared thinking about it now."
Miles Martin wrapped his arms around her, gently patting her back: "Don't be scared, don't be scared..."
Mrs. Herd leaned into Miles Martin's embrace: "You'll have to leave in a bit, won't you?"
He nodded: "Mhm..."
Mrs. Herd scratched at his chest: "Next time just give me a call, it's too far. The travel back and forth wastes so much resting time."
The palm of Miles Martin's hand pressed against her face: "But... how can I rest assured without seeing you."
Mrs. Herd felt both a pain and warmth in her heart, only Miles Martin could make her feel like she was being spoiled and cherished like a young lady.
