I hadn't heard correctly. My head was too light to get a grasp on any of this. "I said I'd never send you where I didn't dare go, yet here we are." A wry chuckle. "I know it makes you uncomfortable, but I can't let you enter that room without telling you how I feel. You've changed me, Laney Garrow. You opened my eyes long before those pirates came.
