As Jonathan Quintero sat back in the car, his hand unconsciously brushed the spot where Lauren had grabbed him earlier.
It was the first time she had ever reached out to him since their reunion.
When she held him, he could feel her hand trembling so hard it was almost painful to remember.
Even when he had pried her fingers off one by one, he could still feel the chill of her touch lingering on his skin.
It wasn't the warmth of life, it felt cold, lifeless, like the hand of a dead person.
Stop thinking about it!
Jonathan's jaw tightened as he closed his eyes, forcing the thoughts out of his head. He couldn't allow himself to waver.
No matter how much she tried to act like the victim, he wouldn't fall for it again.
This time, he would make sure their child returned to where he belonged, the Quintero family.
