As I drove home, I wasn't paying much attention to the road that shimmered wetly in the sun. I was thinking about the flood of information Minghyu had shared with me, trying to sort it out, to force it all to make sense. Despite the overload, I felt lighter. Seeing Minghyu smile, having all the secrets thrashed out . . . it didn't make things perfect, but it made them better. I was right to have gone. Minghyu needed me. And obviously, I thought as I squinted into the glare, there was no danger.

It came out of nowhere. One minute there was nothing but bright highway in my rearview mirror. The next minute, the sun was glinting off a silver Volvo right on my tail.

"Aw, crap," I whimpered.

I considered pulling over. But I was too much of a coward to face him right away. I'd been counting on some prep time . . . and having Jaewoo nearby as a buffer. At least that would force him to keep his voice down.

The Volvo followed inches behind me. I kept my eyes on the road ahead. Chicken through and through, I drove straight to Angela's without once meeting the gaze I could feel burning a hole in my mirror.

He followed me until I pulled to the curb in front of the Webers' house. He didn't stop, and I didn't look up as he passed. I didn't want to see the expression on his face. I ran up the short concrete walk to Angela's door as soon as he was out of sight.
