Their attention shifted toward a swaying car, barely noticeable as it was hidden behind another vehicle and Aria hadn't even realized it was there.
Maybe the darkness on that side, where the group of men stood, had been too thick and dimly lit, and she hadn't paid much attention to it.
Quietly curious, she couldn't help but look in that direction.
Something about the movement there caught her attention.
She tried to crane her neck further toward it, even rising onto her tiptoes, but her movements froze.
A hand suddenly reached out, catching the back of her neck with a touch that was almost a caress.
A tingle of warmth, mixed with a little panic and slight surprise at the touch, made her turn.
Aria wanted to see who dared to touch her neck, and it was the male lead who had reached for her.
She gave Caelan a look of confusion, waiting for him to speak or begin explaining.
When had he become so touchy with her?
