RONALD'S POV
As I held Emily in my hands,her body reeled with fear. I tightened my grip, trying to convey a sense of safety and security . “I'm sorry , Em.” I whispered,my voice gentle and calm. “ I didn't know he contacted you again. I promise that I'm working on the culprit and apprehending him.
As I spoke,I watched Emily's face, seeing the fear and anxiety on her face. I felt a pang of quilt, knowing that I was the reason she was going through all this.
But as I looked at her,I saw something there that made me feel a sense of unease. It was a flicker of doubt and uncertainty. And I knew I had to reassure her,to make her believe that I'm there for her. I don't know what the caller might have told her but I would make sure he gets caught.
As Emily's body relaxed in my hands,I felt a sense of relief wash over me. Maybe I can keep her safe, I thought . Maybe I can protect her from all this but as I looked into her eyes,I saw a flicker of doubt again.
