Helanie:
I had never seen Emmet look so intense before, so I decided to leave his car. We were going to be at odds now. Given how much his family loved Romeo, I realized I would be going against so many people.
"No!" He grabbed my hand and prevented me from leaving. "You are not leaving just like that."
For a moment, I felt like he would become one of those people who get angry at me and then try to silence me.
"Let me go," I hissed, and the moment the look on my face changed to worry, he let me go. I stormed out of his car but didn't realize he had come out after me.
"Helanie, I only let go of your hand because I didn't want you to think I was holding you in my car against your will. But that doesn't mean I don't want answers," he demanded as he stepped in my way.
"You will find out soon," I said, attempting to sidestep him.
