Ludwik’s tone was cool and emotionless, and Whitney could not comprehend his emotions.
Her heart raced as she jerked back, feeling like it might leap right out of her throat.

Ludwik eyed her suddenly downcast face, saying nothing as his long fingers covered her pale ones. He expertly took the spatula to sauté the morels in the pan, skillfully bringing the water to a boil.
Whitney was a mess of nerves, unable to comprehend why he would still want to be near her.
