Fallon hadn't spared her roommate a second glance upon hearing of JP's injuries. She had stared at Malou with wide eyes — his continued silence finally making sense — and immediately ran to her room to change into her ministry robes.

Bruises and bandages were everywhere she looked. Fallon paused only to close the door behind her before taking the few required steps to his bedside.
