Chapter 21 Lost Child

• As Colton hit the gas, his car vroomed and roared, speeding away toward their destination. What was supposed to be a one-hour-long trip was shortened to only forty minutes.
• Having reached their destination, Nicole lifted the skirt of her gown and picked up her pace.

The house was in a complete mess. All of the wardrobes in the rooms were opened, and even the fruit platter on the living room table was swept onto the floor. Evidently, the situation that took place earlier was rather extreme.
