The air was heavy with unsaid thoughts during the tense drive back from the Santiago conference. As she sat in the passenger seat, Lily's thoughts were reliving everything she had spoken to Alejandro. Although he had not explicitly agreed, he was at least thinking about it, which was more than she had hoped for.
Silently, Ethan gripped the driving wheel tightly. Since they entered the club, he had been tense since his protective nature conflicted with the need for their strategy.
The silence was finally broken by Lily. "We have a chance."
Ethan let out a loud sigh. "A chance does not equate to a guarantee."
"It's preferable to nothing."
Ethan took a while to reply. His mouth clenched, he turned down a quiet road that led to the safe home. "You know what happens if this doesn't work out, Lily."
She gave him a look. "I do." However, we have no other option.
He flexed his hands on the steering wheel. "We have a choice at all times."
