Hamilton's face was a study in storm clouds as he pulled his car over to the curb and got out.

Hamilton's jaw clenched, and he moved forward to slam the door shut again.

Hamilton's face darkened, and his gaze flicked to Ryan.

Natalia raised an eyebrow, challenging. "Is that a problem?"

Hamilton's composure was slipping.
