At my question, a faint blush touched Tyrell’s cheeks. He replied, “You saved my life once. Do you remember who consistently ranked in the top three from freshman to senior year?”

I was even more bewildered, yet I knew one thing for sure.”Besides me, there was Corey Parrish, and then there was you, Tyrell Vaughn.”

Tyrell nodded. “It was me. Corey was consumed by jealousy over us. One winter night, he locked me inside the library after the librarian had left, leaving me trapped in the cold, empty building.”

The tale struck a chord within me. I remembered being locked in the library once before, huddled with another man, simply waiting out the night until morning broke.

“Could it have been you I was locked in with that night?”

Tyrell nodded again.”I witnessed my grandparents’ car crash right before my eyes. I lay beside the wreckage all night, consumed by fear of the dark. But that day in the library, you were there. Thank you. Without you, I might have been reduced to sheer terror. So, you are my savior. For this, I…”

A wave of genuine fear washed over me. As a divorced woman, I quickly cut Tyrell off, mindful of my still-healing emotional scars and unwilling to delve into topics that felt too raw and sensitive.

Tyrell’s eyes widened.”I’m truly sorry. I know what you’ve been through; I should have been more considerate. That was thoughtless of me. Actually, Anya, you’re a month older than me. Would it be alright if I considered you my older sister? Please, get some rest. Oh, by the way, I need to go pick up Allen. Don’t you worry, I’ll protect you. I swear, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
