From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 324

The car rolled to a stop at the red light.

Evan Dale glanced over his shoulder at Ethan Carter, who was slumped back in his seat, letting the cold winter air whip across his face. His fists were clenched tight on his knees, muscles and veins bulging along his arms and forehead.
