CHAPTER 194
~Zara's POV~
The drive home was steeped in silence. Snow's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles pale from the pressure.
I opened my mouth to speak several times, desperate to break the silence but the words never came.
His jaw was set, his icy blue eyes fixed on the road, and I could sense the storm brewing beneath his composed exterior.

"Snow," I began cautiously, placing a hand on his arm.
He withdrew from me swiftly. Without a word, he exited the car, slamming the door behind him as he stormed inside.
