I smile as we get in the limousine. "It's not bad."
Matteo Riddle closes the door and then gets into the driver’s seat. He glances at you with a small smile.
"Thank you, love. But I'm afraid it's not over yet."
He starts the car and begins driving down the street, keeping an eye on the rearview mirror.

I step closer to him. It's okay. Really. And I feel safer knowing you're protecting me.

Hey, shh... don't worry. Just relax, alright? His thumb brushes against your skin, sending a shiver down your spine.
