Lilly stood frozen, her mind blank as a car hurtled straight toward her.
In the blink of an eye, a strong arm reached out, catching her around the waist and yanking her out of harm’s way. She tumbled into a warm, solid chest just as the car sped past, missing her by inches.
Her heart was pounding. Lilly looked up, breathless, at the man holding her.
It was him!
The man with the mask. The one she’d been searching for. Somehow, he was here, right in front of her.
He’d found her again.
“It’s you,” she said, voice barely above a whisper.
He let her go. His voice was low, almost cold. “You were looking for me?”
Lilly nodded. “Yeah.”
“Next time, pay attention to where you’re walking.”
He turned as if to leave.
Lilly hurried after him. “Wait. Who are you? We’ve met before, haven’t we?”
He didn’t even look back. “I don’t know you.”
Lilly refused to believe that. “If you don’t know me, then why did you save me? You helped me twice today.”
Once from those men in black. Now from the car.
“It was nothing,” he replied, his tone flat. “Just happened to be there.”
She shook her head. “I don’t believe that. We know each other. I’m sure of it.”
He glanced at her. “Do I remind you of someone you love?”
The question caught her off guard. Her eyelashes fluttered. “Someone I used to love.”
He went quiet for a moment. “Oh.”
That was it. Just one word.
