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

“Nash,” Nina called out. But Nash wrapped his arms around her waist, burying his head in her hair, and said in a low voice, “Don’t move, let me hold you for a while.” Now Nina didn’t move. She didn’t quite understand why he drank so much.

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.”
