"Are you angry?" he asked.

"No, I just hope she forgives me," I replied, my mind still replaying the events of the

night.

"Maybe she'll feel better after she showers and rests," Ryder said, his hand resting on my

hip.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew, I heard the car door opening.

"We're home," Ryder said softly. He got out and helped me down from the car.

"How come you don't seem to be in pain?" I asked, feeling the ache throughout my entire

body.

"I blacked out, so my muscles didn't get strained like yours did when you were thrown

from the car," he explained.

I frowned, considering his explanation. It made sense, but I was still surprised at how quickly he'd recovered. Every muscle in my body was screaming in protest, yet he seemed completely fine.

"How's your arm feeling?" I asked. The sun was rising, but thankfully we hadn't encountered anyone. Ryder led me straight to his room.

"Stay here," he muttered, walking to his closet. He pulled out one of his T-shirts. "Do you

want to take a shower?"

"Yes, thank you," I answered, hoping the hot water would ease my pain.
