Chapter 83

• “Mikaila, if something happened to you I would feel very guilty, your car attack and accident was not without reason.”
• I was stunned and slapped again because I forgot that was true. A few days ago, the chief of police who investigated our case said that the incident was not accidental. I bit my lower lip because of the guilt that overcame me. I looked at Reyhan with a look trying to understand, and he caressed my cheek using the back of his fingers. I took his fingers that were caressing me, kissing his palm, then pressing it against my cheek. I leaned on his hand.
• “I’ll try not to worry you,” I said earnestly, and I saw relief in his golden nets; then he took his hand and lay on my lap. I stroked his hair and played with my fingers. His eyes closed, enjoying my touch on his head, which turned to wringing, and he pulled his hair gently, massaging it in slow motions.
