    When Ruby camed down, Larissa asked. “Shall we go I’m freezing to death.”


    Only then did Kevan realize how thin the clothes she was wearing were.


    Pursing his lips, he took off his coat and draped it over her. The stiff fabric still came his body warmth


    and minty scent. Feeling extremely

    no hope with her, right? Now that the opportunity hase, you should seize il!”


    Kevan’s Jaw tightened. Without warning, he turned on the car radio. Dealening rock music immediately


    filled the entire car, drowning out Larissa’s voicepletely. It helped to dissipate le frustration in


    Kevan’s heart a tile.
