Her curiosity had gotten the better of her, causing her to voice a question that should have remained unspoken. There was no chance to take it back now. The question was out there, and Eric had undoubtedly heard it.

• Eric's hand, which had been reaching for the door, fell back to his side. As he turned around, a menacing aura filled the room. Alexa would have preferred if Eric had ignored her question and left. But once again, her hopes did not align with reality. Eric stepped toward her with a clenched jaw.
