His body was warm, carrying a strong scent of alcohol, his hot breath lingering by her ear. He’s been drinking?

carefully, “Does it hurt?”

Nina felt a sourness in her nose, perhaps from too much grievance, unable to withstand his concern. “Why are you asking these questions?” Her words carried a tone of complaint.

Nash patted her back as if to soothe her emotions. “I won’t let you go to such dangerous places again in the future.”
