Yale's heart pounded as he looked timidly at Tyler.
“Mr. Hunt, what do you mean by that? Don’t look atlike this-it rattles me. If you think I've done something
wrong, you can just telldirectly.”
Tyler's stare cut right through him, like a blade pressed against his skin. Every second of eye contact cranked up

But if he spoke, he'd drag Rachel down with him. He could afford to take the fall himself, but there was no
