Chapter 356

Amara paused in her tracks and turned to ask, "Mr. Everly, is something wrong?"

Finnian met her gaze, silent.

The car was so quiet that their breathing seemed to fill the space. Cold moonlight spilled through the window,

lighting up one side of Finnian's face and making his eyes look even darker and more unfathomable.

He still didn't speak, but the intensity in his eyes was impossible to ignore. Amara felt scorched by that look and
