' Did Teresa ask him to come ? ' he thought . ' Or could it be ... was Yolanda with him ? ' Charles's mind raced .

But right now , concern for Yolanda outweighed everything else in his mind .

Logan . " 55 vouchers Yolanda was holding Charles's hand , and Teresa stood beneath the umbrella , unconsciously glancing around for Troy . Troy was leaning against a tree , his gaze fixed on them .

Teresa saw that expression and immediately got what was on his mind - clearly , he wanted credit for rescuing Yolanda . Charles and Liam were talking nearby , but Teresa wasn't even listening .

She just had a vague feeling that their conversation was almost over . When Teresa finally looked away , she happened to meet Charles's gaze . She'd expected herself to feel nervous , but surprisingly , inside , she was strangely calm . Charles figured Teresa must be looking at Troy , so he shot a glance in Troy's direction . Troy stood under the tree , the cold wind flicking up the corner of his coat . He looked like he didn't belong , but somehow , he'd quietly won Teresa's heart - Charles couldn't help but feel she'd slipped right through his fingers .

For a moment , Charles felt a sudden , inexplicable panic . Once upon a time , Teresa only saw him , but now , Charles thought bitterly , it was like he'd completely disappeared from her world . As the rain started coming down harder , Liam finally spoke up , " Mr. Logan , maybe you should take Miss Yolanda and Mrs. Logan back to Joyacre Villa first .

Charles was momentarily stunned , realizing what she was getting at - she was calling him out for not even bothering to thank Troy , the one who'd actually helped . But before Charles could get a word in , Yolanda tugged at Teresa and chimed in , " Mommy , can you stay with me tonight ? Come back with us , please ? " Teresa lowered her gaze and saw Yolanda looking up at her , big pleading eyes full of hope , waiting for her answer . Her heart melted all over again .

Teresa couldn't decide , so she glanced over at Troy . He was just looking at her , his lips curved in a soft , knowing smile . With that , Troy gave her a subtle nod . He didn't say a single word , start to finish . But Teresa understood his message perfectly - no words were needed . Teresa had originally wanted Charles to take Yolanda home so she could rest and clean up , while she went to thank Troy , the man who'd saved her daughter .
