Kayla’s POV-
After that terrible encounter, We didn't say a single word all the way back to Sarah's apartment. The energy inside the taxi was thick, heavy, and suffocating. My mind was spinning so fast I thought I was going to throw up all over again. Seeing Lucien Throne in the flesh, breathing the same city air, brought every terrifying reality crashing down on my shoulders.
Once we walked through the door, Sarah threw her keys on the counter and turned to me, her chest heavy.
"Did you see that?!" Sarah threw her hands up, her voice rising in disbelief. "That man was right there, Kayla! Ten feet away! And you just stood there like a statue while I tried to get his attention!"
"I panicked, okay?" I snapped back, dropping my bag on the floor and wrapping my arms tightly around myself .
