Lost Ring

Elena's POV:

The sound of my retching filled the car, and I could feel Aiden freeze beside me as my dessert decided to stage a dramatic encore—right onto his designer suit.

For a moment, there was nothing but silence. Horrible, mortifying silence.

"You've got to be kidding me," Aiden finally said, his voice low and dangerous.

I sat back, wiping my mouth with trembling hands. "I—uh—sorry?"

He turned to me slowly, his jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might snap. "Do you enjoy ruining my life? Is this some kind of twisted hobby for you?"

I opened my mouth to respond but quickly closed it as another wave of nausea hit me. He groaned, leaning his head back against the seat and glaring at the ceiling like he was asking the universe why it hated him.
