She hurried after him and caught sight of Ryan standing by the car, slipping on his gloves like he was ready to take off.

“Ryan!” she called out.

Ryan, not even twenty yet, was already tall and striking, especially in the snowy night by the car. He had that effortlessly handsome look of someone who never had to worry about money.

The herbalist was surprised to see him so early, realizing Ryan must’ve driven all night from the city.

“Ryan, you’re here early. Is everything alright?”
