Once they got out, Rachel finally felt like light had returned to the world. She took a deep breath and sighed. The feeling of being back in the light was amazing.

But the next second, Rachel turned to look at Tyler with a strange expression.

Tyler frowned. “Can you not look at me like you’ve seen a ghost?”

Rachel opened her mouth slowly. “I just realized we were being complete idiots. Why didn’t we use our phones?”

Their phones had flashlights. Why had they fumbled their way through the dark instead? She could excuse herself for not thinking clearly, but Tyler? Had his brain shut down too?

Tyler shot her a sideways glance, then pulled a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. “Speak for yourself. Don’t drag me down with you.”

Rachel looked up at him. “So you did remember your phone?”

“The second I turn it on, I get flooded with calls.”

It was irritating enough that he’d just silenced it altogether.

Rachel nodded. “Same here, but I set filters.”

Suddenly, things started to make sense. No wonder Tyler hadn’t replied to her messages earlier. Still, he could’ve at least said something.

Tyler smirked a little. “See? It’s still your fault.”

Rachel clenched her fists. She was furious. “You could’ve at least reminded me!”

Tyler’s gaze locked onto her. The playful nonchalance from before was gone. Instead, his gaze was intense and deep.

“Rachel, you really are something. I took your hand and led you out, wasn’t that good enough? These hands of mine aren’t for just anyone. Be grateful.”

Rachel pouted and murmured, “What, is being touched by you supposed to bring me riches?”

“What was that?” Tyler suddenly leaned in close. His warm breath brushed against her ear.

Rachel jumped. Her body trembled as her heart raced. Her ears were probably bright red now. She instinctively shrank back.

“Nothing.”

Tyler pulled the car keys out of his pocket. “Let’s go.”

Rachel followed behind him, but as she walked, she noticed a blood stain on the back of his shirt.

Her eyes widened, and she hurried to catch up.

“Your wound opened up again.”

Tyler paused briefly but then brushed it off. “It’s fine. I’ll rewrap it when we get back.”

Rachel reached out and grabbed his hand. She was suddenly serious. “We should go to the hospital.”

Tyler’s gaze settled on her for a moment, and his voice turned cold. “Do you know what will happen if we go to the hospital right now?”

Then Rachel realized that they didn’t have options. Even going to a hospital wasn’t possible in this situation.

She backed down.

“Fine. Let’s just rewrap it at home then.”
