Caroline didn’t mind getting out. She was glad to leave the car.

The driver hesitated before nervously asking, “Mr. Davil, should we do something about Mrs. Ellison?”

“Leave her alone!” David snapped.

Pulling at his tie, he leaned back against the seat, his expression unreadable but filled with tension.

He didn’t like her, not even a little. In fact, he almost despised her.
