The faint hum of the ceiling fan was the only sound breaking the silence. His hands were still trembling ...not out of fear, but from the rage that hadn’t left his body yet.
She lay motionless, her breaths shallow, her lashes damp against her skin. A thin strand of hair rested across her cheek. He reached out, hesitated for a second, then gently brushed it aside. His touch was careful, almost as if he was afraid she’d break.
