Selina spun around and strode off.
Rey watched her retreating figure, his mouth set in a tight line.
Composure and restraint had always been his greatest assets. In the courtroom, regardless of how shocking the revelations or even when witnesses betrayed him, he maintained perfect calm, his inner balance never wavering.
Yet now, simply hearing her mention having a boyfriend made his heart feel like it was being wrung out repeatedly.
Some unnamed emotion surged from deep in his chest, overwhelming him completely.
