Corrine studied his stony expression. “Why haven't you said anything?”
Throughout the entire ride back, Nate hadn’t uttered a single word, though his displeasure filled the space
between them.
Instead of answering, he walked to the liquor cabinet, uncorked a bottle, and poured himself a full glass. He
drained it in one go, then immediately poured another.
Corrine stepped forward, concern creasing her brow. She caught his wrist mid-pour. “Your stomach won't thank

Setting down his glass, he pulled her into a fierce embrace, holding her as if he meant to absorb her into his very
