She Will Seek Revenge

Ethan Montgomery's heart trembled violently. 

He turned away, unable to meet her gaze, haunted by the moment he had struck her. 

It wasn't intentional; rage had consumed him, blinding his reason. 

From the moment she was nearly hit by the truck, panic had gripped him, rendering him powerless over his actions.

The moment he turned, he saw nothing but deep-seated hatred in Avery Miller's eyes. 

She hated him! The love she had for him seemed to have curdled into loathing. He could feel her unforgiveness, her deep-rooted hatred, and it terrified him. He couldn't bear to face her.

"I'm sorry," the words choked in his throat, unspoken. He knew apologizing now, in this situation, would only deepen her disdain.

"I'll get a warm towel," he said, his voice shaking unnaturally as he rose to leave, his walk unsteady, a clear sign of his distress.
