Stephanie stormed out of the car with a dark expression, slamming the door in a burst of frustration.

The man inside the car wasn’t any happier.

Dominick glared fiercely as she crossed the street. “Stephanie…” He gritted his teeth and called out to her angrily, but she quickened her pace, completely ignoring him.
