Byron noticed her awkwardly trying to cover her torn collar, her attempts doing little to hide the smooth skin underneath.
Without looking directly at her, he shrugged off his coat and draped it over her lap. "Put this on."
Maeve looked down at the coat, then back up at him with a small, grateful smile. "Thanks."
The coat still carried the warmth of of Byron's body, and since Maeve was petite, it nearly reached her calves, enveloping her in its warmth. Byron nodded odded briefly, started the engine, and drove off.
After they had driven for a while, Byron asked, "How'd you hurt your hand?"
