Clipped between his slender fingers was a pack of tissue.

The warmth of his palm still lingered on the tissues.

Elliot quickly averted his gaze from her face and rolled up the window as the car sped off.

Avery knew nothing about the family's fortune.

First of all, she had no interest in it.

Second of all, her father had never explained it to her.
