"I may be young, but I'm not blind." Zev's voice was cold, his words heavy with resentment toward Ken.

Kelly froze but remained silent.

Since the day she met Zev, this was the first time he had lashed out at her-even if it wasn't truly directed at

her.

Kelly understood. Zev's anger wasn't about her. Still, something about it made her uneasy; maybe it was the sheer weight of his hatred toward Ken. She was scared it might cloud his judgment.

And honestly, it already had. Old grudges, deeply planted and subtly reinforced over time, had long rooted and twisted his view of the world.

"Daddy, you are so fierce." From the backseat, Jasper's innocent voice piped up, reminding Zev that he was raising his voice at Mom.

Zev was taken by surprise and stunned. The anger on his face melted into confusion as he glanced over at Kelly. "Darling, I didn't mean to take it out on you."

Kelly shook her head gently.

Married couples have their bumps-words that come too fast, too loud-but she understood. Zev had just lost someone close. A wave of grief crashing over him was more than understandable.

So what if his voice was a little loud? It wasn't a big deal.

"I really didn't mean it," Zev said again, visibly bothered. He'd worked so hard to win her over, always careful with his words, never harsh. Today, his emotions had gotten the better of him.

Kelly reached over and took his hand. "Let me drive."
