Dana dug beneath her feet where she kept the snacks she’d picked up on the way. She handed an energy drink back to Gray.
Gray hesitated, fear flickering in his eyes, then carefully reached for the can. As he took it, one of his fingers brushed Dana’s. He jerked away and the can tumbled to the floor, fizzing.

Dana glanced at Jason, puzzled. “It’s fine! Don’t worry about it. Just make sure you wait before you open it.” She smiled at Gray.
“Okay. I will, V—Dana.”
A shock shot through Jason’s heart.
He realized what was wrong with Gray. Why he would possibly be afraid of Dana, a woman he’d never met, who wasn’t exactly the most imposing person in the world.
