Chapter 288

1/5

Daniel – ever solicitous – slips off his jacket and sets it lightly around my shoulders.

I look up at Daniel with gratitude and see him looking down at me already, shaking his head. “I’m sorry, Fay,” he says as the cab pulls up, moving forward to open the door for me. “I can’t believe that just happened – you know I’d never –”

I don’t care about what’s appropriate, though – I just want to get out of here. Fast.
