Maya's life over the past few days has been filled with tranquility and a sense of safety. She feels as though this is not her life at all, as if she is in a different dimension. Neither her stepfather nor her half-brother has hit or slapped her, nor have they spoken to her in a derogatory manner for days. They have been avoiding her like plaque as if she doesn't exist to them. It's quite shocking!
All thanks to Dalton for acting like her knight in shining armor and using his immense power to subdue her tormentors, who had been making her life miserable. Now she can sleep at night without the overwhelming fear gnawing at the pit of her stomach.
She will be eternally grateful to him. However, his constant chivalry and overprotectiveness can be a bit excessive. She is unsure of how to feel about it, and it overwhelms her. Yet she can't help but grin and giggle like a giddy person whenever she thinks about their interactions while lying in bed.
