Chapter 32

• "Where do you want to go? I’ll drive you.”
• Yul’s voice was calm, steady exactly the opposite of the chaotic tremor coursing through Naomi’s body. His hand supported her slender arm with deliberate care. Three years ago, he had already seen she wasn’t a fragile girl. Life had beaten her once, and she had walked through fire without blinking. If anything, she had only grown braver with every harsh reality life threw at her.
• “There’s no need, I…” She tried to pull her arm back, tried to retain whatever dignity she had left. This was only the third time she had ever come in contact with him. No matter how gentle he looked, no matter how warm his voice felt… he was still a stranger. And she had learned the hard way that depending on anyone even for a second was dangerous.
