Dale gave her a smile that chilled her to the bone, not saying a word.
Kimberlee's body jolted upright, her fight-or-flight instinct screaming at her. She scrambled to her feet, heart hammering against her ribs, but before she could take a single step away to move out Dale's hand shot out.

"Sit down, Kimberlee. You don't want to try and make a run for it. Trust me."
Her breath came in short, sharp gasps. "Let me go—"
Dale only smiled. "You don't want to do that."
