Eric’s gazes locked with Hadley’s.

A heavy silence enveloped them for several moments.

The only sound was the gentle falling of snow.

Eric’s face was set in a stern expression.

He looked at her intently, his voice barely above a whisper, saying, “Did you spend the entire night with him?”

Hadley responded, “Yes, but…”

Eric interrupted sharply, “Yes?”

His eyes darkened menacingly.
