When Harry walked into Ruby's with Rohan everyone turned to look at them. A surge of anxiety gripped Rohan's stomach. They thought he did it. Sid wasn't his usual smiling self. Ruby had an aggressive look on her face. Gus was frowning and Annie...

Annie had a pained expression on her face. She was twisting her hands together and her big blue eyes shone with moisture. Please, not Annie. Please, don't let me lose Annie. All he could do was look pleadingly into her eyes. She rushed towards him and threw herself at him. Rohan almost missed catching her in his shock at her reaction.

"Oh... Rohan!"

He lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist. Rohan hid his face in her neck. "I didn't do it, Annie. You've got to believe me. I didn't do it."

Annie kissed his neck and lifted his face. "I know. I know you couldn't do something like that. We'll work it out."

Rohan couldn't help but smile. We'll work it out. She'd said it before and they had so far but, this wasn't like anything they'd been through. "Annie, this is different. They have my blood on her shirt and my skin under her nails. My hair."

"There's a reason, right?" Her eyes queried him.

"Yeah... when I punched that man. Sally cleaned my face. I bled on her and she accidentally scratched me with her nails."

"See. We'll work it out. It'll get sorted."

Rohan kissed her. He didn't care if everyone was watching. He had Annie and that was all that mattered.

Who thinks Rohan and Annie are a match made in heaven? ♥
