The lingering picture
Avery’s face, so calm and composed, kept haunting Carter’s thoughts. It seemed completely at odds with the frantic tone of the news anchor, who had urgently called for help.
How could she appear so peaceful and untroubled in his truck yet be in danger, according to the news? The disconnect between the two images was unsettling, leaving Carter tangled in confusion. The stark contrast between the Avery he had met and the one on the screen filled him with a growing sense of unease, twisting his stomach in knots.
