Iris Yates's face was burning hot.
Rhett Reynolds's hand was warm. The firm, possessive way he held hers was surprisingly reassuring.
She wanted to pull her hand back but couldn't bring herself to do it. Her eyes kept darting to the person beside her. The thrill of it all distracted her from her fear.
Iris Yates was grateful for the darkness of the night, but she couldn't help but bite her lower lip. She didn't understand what Rhett Reynolds meant by this.
'Is he just doing this because he sees I'm scared? Or is this his way of silently expressing his feelings?'
Just as her mind was in a whirl, she suddenly heard someone say, "They're coming out."
Iris Yates immediately looked toward the pitch-black mouth of the cave. Sure enough, she saw a faint light, which quickly grew closer. Moments later, Luna Morgan and Leo Bishop emerged hand in hand.
They even had smiles on their faces.
