Rachel's eyes snapped open. Why should she not feel safe? She could feel Cruz's heartbeat and breathing quicken. Cruz was nervous, and had said something he hadn't wanted to say.
Rachel's intuition said that Cruz wasn't a bad man, but she had been wrong before. Could she have really judged him so poorly? "No,"
she thought. "He's not. What is troubling him?"
She looked up at him, giving herself some distance, but keeping her hands on his shoulders. She met his gaze, her own green eyes staring deep into his gray-blue eyes.
"Why would you say that?"
she said, trusting her intuition.
The whole time Cruz had been trying to comfort her, but her gut said that something was wrong after he had whispered, yet she felt no danger from him. She waited patiently for his answer, her gaze unwavering.
