His Eagle Eyes on Me

The car sped past Avery, leaving a trail of dust.

She lifted her head and saw the blurry tail lights of the Rolls-Roice in the darkness. 1

Was that Elliot's car? 1

She wiped the tears off her face, calmed herself down, and walked toward the house.

She saw the car parked in the courtyard when she arrived.

She was an extremely foolish woman. 3

Seeing her miserable, however, affected his mood in a peculiar way.

It was a feeling that he had never felt before.
