The distance between them closed too quickly. One moment, he was across the room. And the next, he stood right in front of her, tall and unyielding, like the music and lights bent around him instead of the other way around.Penelope’s breath hitched, but she refused to step back.Warning bells rang in her head. Run. Run.
