Chapter 2 - 02- Janet
Suddenly hearing her mother’s panicked voice, Janice froze in place. She saw the car speeding straight toward her and instinctively covered her eyes.
Then—
A sharp screech of brakes shattered the air.
Thrown off balance, Janice stumbled and landed hard on the cold pavement.
"What just happened?"
A sharp voice, laced with irritation, came from the back seat of the car. A young man, his eyes sharp and commanding, looked out the window just as the driver spoke with panic in his tone,
"I’m sorry, young master—I nearly hit a little girl!"
The teen, tall and striking with an icy presence, rolled down the window.
And then he saw her.
A pair of eyes—clear, bright, and unguarded—staring up at him.
Something unidentifiable stirred in his chest, so faint it almost went unnoticed.
