Chapter 29 Let Them Gossip

• Reyna, please," Theo raved, the leather steering wheel creaking beneath his hard grasp as he looked at her stiffly seated beside him. Her arms were folded and her lips clamped in a thin line, as they'd been since she got into the car back at the eatery, making the pressure inside it nearly claustrophobic." I do not feel comfortable leaving you alone tonight."
• Reyna listed her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the city lights blurring past the window." I am not some fragile doll, Theo. I will be fine."
• " Not buying it," Theo said forcefully, keeping his eyes on the road but stealing a quick glance at her." You've slightly slept, and I just cannot drop you off and act like everything's fine."
