Derrick felt a bit embarrassed by the praise, but he was happy to have been able to help. "It's no problem, John," he said, giving him a small smile. "I was happy to do it."

"The courage and compassion you showed is truly admirable. And I'm happy to be able to help John's business in any way I can. It's the least I can do to help him." Derrick felt a rush of emotio

    Before Tom could turn to confront Tiffany, she had vanished into thin air. He spun around, his eyes scanning the darkness, but she was nowhere to be found.
