"Why is your body so cold?" When Tyler noticed that Vicky was shivering, he held onto her even tighter.
"What if..." she whispered. "What if I wasn't kidnapped by your enemy?"
"Who else would do it?" He planted a kiss on her forehead and said gently, "Vicky, I know that you've suffered for the past few days. This won't happen again, but..."
"But what?"
"You need to let me know where you're going next time you're leaving, or I won't be able to find you."
One horrifying experience had been more than Vicky could take, so she whispered, "I know. I won't wander off again."
It was a dangerous world out there, and she would still be resenting Tyler for locking her inside a hotel room in Arrowtown had she not spent a week in Forever Night. In comparison, Tyler never truly imprisoned her.
He was her husband, and despite all the conflicts they had, he would never leave her to die.
Tyler lowered his gaze, his eyes glittering in the dark. "Do you still want a divorce?"
After a few moments of silence, Vicky shook her head.
Seemingly satisfied with her response, Tyler planted a kiss on her.
Ever since she returned to Stoneford City, everything she saw reminded her of Forever Night, and the darkness that loomed over her made her feel so insecure that she tried to shove Tyler away. However, just like the masked man, Tyler would not budge, so she bit his lip.
Considering Tyler's character, he would be offended by her rejection and continue the kiss forcefully, but he stopped and apologized, which Vicky assumed to be under the effect of his guilt toward her.
"I'm sorry," he said hoarsely and caressed her hair. "Sleep."
