Dalton tilted his chin, refusing to meet her gaze. He took a drag from his cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke that obscured hist expression.

Lydia had anticipated this kind of reaction from him.

"Don't touch me."

Dalton rolled down the window, resting his arm on the ledge. He flicked the ash from his cigarette, his tone dismissive. "Dirty."

Lydia stood outside the window, caught in a limbo of confusion.

She thought, "Should I grasp his outstretched hand or pull away? Dirty?

Dalton smirked, as if he could read her thoughts.
