The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2795

Why bringing home someone else's child?

Why? What was the reason? She needed someone to give her an answer, someone to tell her how to solve this riddle and reset everything to the start.

Had Nolan sensed something?

He quietly played some music, and as the notes spilled out, it seemed to him he heard Regina's sobs.

It took a good long while before Regina, with a hint of embarrassment, turned back to face him, barely daring to meet Nolan's eyes at that moment.

Wiping away her tears in a rush, she offered an awkward smile.

"I'm so sorry, I don't know why I got so emotional all of a sudden. I'm usually not like this," she said.

Before Nolan could respond, Regina continued, "Maybe I just feel safe around you. Thanks, Nolan."

In the moment their eyes met, Nolan felt as if something inside his chest had caved in. He was fallen. His mouth opened, but no words came out.

Regina, as if unable to bear even a second of the awkward silence, quickly announced they had arrived at her place. She opened the car door and dashed out.

"What are you escaping from?" he murmured to himself.

When Regina finally shut her door behind her and leaned against it, gasping for air, she covered her face with her hands in despair. "What was I saying back there? Crying in front of him, of all things! Regina, what are you doing?"

She threw herself onto her bed in a state of collapse. She was supposed to work with him again tomorrow on the Domingo case, but in her current state, she felt like she'd rather vanish into thin air.

Even as she prepared for bed, the embarrassing scenes of the afternoon kept replaying in her head. She had thought she would have trouble sleeping, even considered taking some melatonin to help, but surprisingly, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, dreamless and deep.
