His footsteps pounding on the pavement behind her. He was fast. The streets were full of people, but none of them looked concerned at the woman sprinting down the sidewalk, with a man shouting angrily after her.472Please respect copyright.PENANAuJI8puwn0e

"Let me go, Daniel."472Please respect copyright.PENANAmXsI8GcCLJ

Eden pulled from him and stumbled back into someone. She looked up to see the man from the bar. He was staring at Daniel with a hard gaze, his lips curling.472Please respect copyright.PENANAFMGqf2T4q9
472Please respect copyright.PENANA2mtNdemelK
"Are you all right?" he asked.472Please respect copyright.PENANAYwdbU5BBsR

After he was gone, Eden shook her head. "Thank you, but I was handling it."472Please respect copyright.PENANAy9xSWP6qhe
472Please respect copyright.PENANAoOK7m0vR7z
"I'm sure you were," the man replied smugly. "And it looks like so many people were willing to help you with your confrontation."472Please respect copyright.PENANAvII2jqyvTr

"Sorry if I ruined your night."472Please respect copyright.PENANAhCJjUThVMH
472Please respect copyright.PENANA6z9lTkcOwS
He shrugged. "My night ended after my last drink. I was just heading home when you ran into me." He looked down the now empty street. "Who was he?"472Please respect copyright.PENANAqg0pbHyfzZ
472Please respect copyright.PENANAw1Y4G93kr1
"Daniel," she replied, frowning.472Please respect copyright.PENANAzT0BmRmnfN

"Is he your boyfriend?"472Please respect copyright.PENANAhYOJ19xIka
472Please respect copyright.PENANAsKJhBhrSAA
"Was." She looked into his gray eyes as they walked down the sidewalk. "He's changed a lot since we've been together."472Please respect copyright.PENANAM0QXUrd0vX
