Novel Bin
Vol. 1 Ch. 23
For a while, only the quiet sound of the waves lingered in the air. Neither Chase nor Josh spoke. They simply stared at each other.@@novelbin@@
But Josh was experiencing the noisiest moment of his life. His heart was pounding so violently that he couldn't even think. He never realized his pulse could be this deafening.
Even so, his gaze kept drifting downward. The fact that he couldn't tear his eyes away, to the point of self-loathing, made his ears burn hot.
He barely managed to look up, only to have his breath caught again. Because there was a face. That damnably beautiful face staring back at him.
"……."
"……."
Silence settled between them. The sound of the waves was neither helpful nor distracting. If anything, Josh’s own ragged breathing was louder. Feeling self-conscious, he cleared his throat belatedly.
"I apologize for being late. I received the message, but……"
Suddenly, Josh remembered. This man had once tried to drown him. Right now, of all times, why did that memory surface? Even asking himself didn’t yield an answer. The only fortunate thing was that the fear that surged up momentarily had cooled his overheating heart.
What do you think?
