Nathaniel sensed the confusion in her but he didn't push her. Instead, he stood up and pulled her up out of the chair. He hugged her tight and only pulled back as he heard Tim approaching. Without saying a word, he took Dominique's things from Tim and walked out to his car. Dominique and Tim were behind him.
Tim hugged Dominique and told her to be safe. He hated letting her leave with Nathaniel. He sensed the turmoil going on within Dominique but didn't really know how to help her with it. She hugged him back so tightly. She wasn't afraid of leaving with Nathaniel, that much he knew. So, what was going on with her? He pulled back and brushed his lips against hers. He had promised her that he would back off but he couldn't help himself after thinking he had lost her today. He let her go and watched as Nathaniel pulled off.
