Between his fingers , a scarlet ember still flickered .

Yet , whether it was the nicotine or something else , the restlessness in his chest only grew stronger .

The image of her fragile back as she left the charity gala haunted him , gnawed at him .

He had to come .

Impatiently , Fraser flicked the cigarette to the ground , grinding the ember beneath the toe of his shoe until it was .

extinguished .

After a long pause , he opened the car door , slid into the drivers seat , and slammed on the gas .

The deafening roar of the engine shattered the nights silence , echoing through the entrance of Brookhaven Estates .
