"Your sister would be fine, but are you okay?" Asbeel asked her once Angela entered the car and Angela showed him her biggest smile.
However, her smile slowly faded the moment she saw Asbeel's face abruptly become grave as he looked past her with wide eyes.
And then, before she could even turn to look at what he was looking at, with speed as fast as lightning, Asbeel pulled her into his arms, and everything around them shattered.
She could feel the shards of glass hitting her hands a bit, and she was sure most of the impact was borne by him, the way he had covered her.
Everything happened so fast that Angela didn't have time to react. Her mind somehow was able to process that something big had happened, that they were probably involved in an accident but it didn't happen in slow motion as she had seen in movies. It all happened as fast as a lightning strike.
