Too Close to the Sun (The Sun 1)
“Something was wrong, he could tell. Her breathing had become harsh and erratic. It seemed absurd to him that this woman who had braved Free Rebels and Harvesters might be afraid of the dark. And yet… “Angel?” He spoke calmly, but again there was no answer. He wasn’t sure what to do. He reached down, hoping to comfort her, but when his hand touched her, she flinched and began to whimper.
“It’s okay. It’s only me. You’re safe. I promise you, you’re safe.” He tried to sound convincing as he inched... his way closer to her in the shaft. The next time he touched her, she didn’t flinch, but the low whimpering sounds continued.

“Angel, it’s okay. I'm with you and I'm going to get you out of here. You’re safe with me.”
His words were met with the sound of chattering teeth and he knew she was losing ground to her growing panic.MoreLess
