** Harper **
There is a famous line frequently used in novels: "If looks could kill, he would've been dead a thousand times already."
That was precisely the line coming to Harper's mind when she caught the fleeting glare Eli darted at Wallace. It was gone in an instant, probably unnoticed by everyone else, but she could swear the disdain in that look was so undisguised that it almost made her shudder.
What had Wallace done to warrant such hostility after mere minutes of sharing a ride?
Maybe Eli was still in a bad mood. Harper had actually been shocked when she heard him offer the limo, and she took it as a good sign that he must have recovered enough from Saturday's emotional blow to be willing to come near her again. Her hope at steering the trip back into its original direction was slowly rekindled. But seeing the look on his face now … Did Wallace accidentally say something that triggered the forbidden topic once more? Was it the talk about coffee?
