Dax had faced many scary things in his life but Sana’s absolute silence after the incident was the most terrifying. She didn’t say a word. She only guided him into the truck, made him stand between her legs as she sat down on a stool and bandaged his bruised knuckles. Dax waited. Thought she needed time to process what happened. But not having her speak out her thoughts was driving him insane.

“Say something,” he said, breaking the silence.
