Bolton stared into her dark eyes and nearly broke. He nearly told her everything, but he could barely bring himself to think about what would happen if she knew who he really was. Bolton Farrera was nothing but a coward. A product of his circumstances. Unable to do what he wanted or to live the life he dreamed of.

At every turn he’d been thwarted. Every time he’d gotten close enough to actually believe that a happy, free life was possible something happened. Slam, the door shut on his future. Until he’d hit the point that he stopped dreaming.

And then he’d met Nadia.

Bolton lifted his hand but didn’t try to reach for her. He wanted so badly to know if they’d hurt her, but he couldn’t bring himself to say that, either. Such a coward.

“Shadrach?”

“Let’s go check on him, okay?” He wasn’t going to rule out her need to be checked by a doctor. Maybe he’d suggest it, since they would be in the hospital anyway.

Nadia nodded but didn’t move. Not even the bright white sneakers on her feet twitched. He didn’t think his back could take carrying her, not the way it had been acting up. So Bolton got to his feet. He held out his hand, wishing with all his might that she would take it. A small peace offering. An indication she didn’t hate him for what Dante had done to her.

He knew now that she didn’t trust him, but if Bolton could bring himself to tell her everything maybe he could earn that back.

Nadia pressed her lips together. She set her soft, cold hand in his and got up.

Bolton lifted her hand and pressed the back of it to his chest. Her big eyes gazed up at him. “I’m glad you’re safe, Nadia.”

She ducked her head and pressed her forehead against his chest. Her breath hitched, but she didn’t cry.

Bolton wrapped his arms around her. Had Bolton ever met anyone as strong as she was?
