As Ethan pulled Nora close, she felt a sense of comfort and security wash over her. She was safe, at least for the moment. But as she looked into Ethan's eyes, she saw a flicker of concern there. He was worried about something, and Nora's heart skipped a beat as she wondered what it was.
"What's wrong?" Nora asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"What's going on?" Nora asked, her voice shaking with fear.
Ethan's eyes locked onto hers, and he took a deep breath. "I'll tell you everything," he said. "But first, we have to get out of here."
