Оглавление“Miss Fox! Ruth! Wait a minute!” Sam called out.
Her pulse accelerated along with her steps.
I can’t face him now. I’m not ready.
Sam touched her shoulder. Ruth shrugged him off and stepped into the street.
A horn blared. She turned her head in time to see a car bearing down on her. Then someone yanked her back onto the boardwalk. Only after her heartbeat slowed did she realize that the arm wrapped around her waist belonged to Sam.
“You could have been killed.” His voice shook.
She was only aware that he still held her. “Please…let go.”
He released her. “Where are you going in such a rush?”
She could not look at him. “I suppose I should thank you for saving my life.” But she did not feel thankful.
“Didn’t you hear me? Didn’t you see the car? You acted like you were running away.”
I was. But she couldn’t say that. “I’m in a hurry.”
“I can see that, but nothing is worth risking your life.”
My heart is.
