Just one glance.
But it softened him instantly.
God.
How could the same man look at me like that while threatening someone at the same time?
Then Vaughn laughedagain.
Weak.
Ugly.
“You should ask her what she really saw in that garage.”
The room stilled.
My pulse stopped cold.
No.
Vaughn looked straight at Hersh.
“She never told you the worst part, did she?”
26
BLAZE
The second Vaughn said worst part, every instinct in my body sharpened.
Because Flick’s face lost all color instantly.
Not nervous.
Not scared.
Destroyed.
My stomach dropped hard.
There it is.
Something she never told anybody.
Vaughn smiled through blood when he saw her reaction.
Cruel bastard.
“Oh yeah,” he rasped. “He doesn’t know.”
“Hersh…”
Flick’s voice cracked softly behind me.
I looked back at her immediately.
Always immediately.
