from Hyacinth:
Rosie contemplated Eli’s sudden change in emotions. He could go from burning-hot angry to cool and calm in a second. It terrified her. But his eyes in this moment made her feel safe. Made her feel like everything was going to be okay.
“Where are we going?” she asked quietly. Eli smiled.
“Someplace safe.”
Surprising even herself, she took his hand in hers.
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
