Chapter 56 Unspoken

With shaking hands, she turned the engine off and stepped out of the car. She tried to steady her breathing, but the tightness in her chest wouldn't ease. There, in front of her, was Ross's sports car, and standing next to it, looking every bit as calm and collected as always, was Ross himself.
He was looking at her with that all-knowing smile that always made her feel like he could see right through her, like he had already figured her out long before she'd even realized what was happening.
