Tiana Grayson felt a deafening roar in her head, and her heart constricted with pain.
She shook off Howard Rhodes's arm and rushed into the crowd.
She pushed through the crowd, and when she saw the man slumped motionless over the steering wheel, her heart seized painfully once more.
Tears began to stream down her face. Her legs trembled so violently she couldn't take a single step. With quivering lips, she choked out, "Leo!"
Her cry wasn't loud. In fact, it was almost completely drowned out by the surrounding clamor.
But Leo Joyce, inside the car, heard it with perfect clarity. He stiffened, and his heart began to pound erratically.
When Leo Joyce didn't react, Tiana Grayson was terrified. She had imagined their reunion countless times, but never once did she picture it happening at the scene of his car accident.
She clutched her dress, fighting to keep from collapsing. "Leo, are you okay?"
