Id always known Jared was sharp, but I hadn't expected him to piece everything together so quickly.
| glanced at Yvonne sitting beside me, pressed my lips together, and just ignored him.
Jared's breathing suddenly grew rapid, and it was like he lost control of his emotions all at once.
In the shadows, he grabbed my wrist, squeezing so hard it felt like my bones might snap.
| glared at him, annoyed.
There was raw pain in Jared's eyes, as if I'd truly pushed him over the edge this time.
The car pulled up in front of the restaurant. As soon as the door opened, | shook off Jared's grip, got out first, and
carried Yvonne out of the car.
“He's Nora's dad...” Yvonne immediately recognized Edward.
Edward smiled and nodded. “Hey there, Yvonne.”
“Is Nora here today?” Yvonne seemed to really like the kind girl from last time.
Edward shook his head. “She’s not here. | invited you all to dinner.”
“Oh.” Yvonne seemed a bit let down.
Jared lingered in the car for a while before finally stepping out.
As soon as he got out, he just stared straight at Edward, as if the idea of greeting him had completely slipped his
mind.
Edward's gaze flickered, but his smile stayed in place. “Mr. Holcomb, why don’t you head inside first?”
Suddenly, Jared turned to Yvonne. “Why don’t you go inside with Uncle Edward? | need to talk to your mom for a
minute.”
Yvonne blinked at him. “Dad, if you're gonna argue with Mom, can you save it for when we're home, behind
closed doors? Let's just eat first.”

He seemed to trust that | could handle things and turned to follow Yvonne inside.

Jared stiffened, then released me. He looked atwith a suffocating intensity. “Victoria, are you trying to get
yourself killed? Why do you keep getting involved with the Jennings family?”
When Jared confronted me, his eyes blazing red with emotion, it finally hitwhat he was really trying to say.
It wasn't just jealousy-he was terrified Id self-destruct all over again, that | wouldn't survive this life.
“Even if I'm not supposed to get involved, | already have,” | said, my voice barely above a whisper as | turned
away.
