Eleanor felt flustered under his piercing gaze as he got closer, so she shuffled towards the car door.

Bernard rested his hand on the window, enclosing the petite Eleanor in his arms.

Bernard noticed her silence and lack of defense, his expression quickly shifted.

He raised his long hand and grazed it from her cheek, brushing back towards her ear.

The instant his fingers touched her skin, Eleanor shivered uncontrollably.

Bernard’s touch, compared to Josef’s, filled her with fear.
