Cliff remained motionless for a moment, his anger simmering beneath the surface. By the time he came to his senses, she was gone.

Realizing she had left without shoes, Cliff cursed under his breath and hurried out after her. But she had already vanished into the night.

Cliff was brief, only hinting at where Laney might be.
