There's No Turning Back (Elara and Harvey) novel Chapter 53

Niamh was wearing a helmet, so no one could see the pale, panicked expression on her face. Fortunately, the motorcycle had barely picked up speed, so she wasn't going too fast.

Beau had been thrown forward onto the fuel tank, his helmet slamming against the dashboard.

"Ugh!" He winced as his chest took the impact, making him cough uncontrollably.

"Beau! Seriously? Sit properly and hold on tight, got it?" Seeing that Beau wasn't hurt, Niamh let out a sigh of relief.

She grabbed the back of his jacket and hoisted him upright, setting him back into position.

Beau adjusted his helmet and shouted, "I'm fine!"

His voice was loud—he was saying it for Elara and Bambi to hear.

"Damn it! Who the hell drives like that?" Niamh grumbled as the car that had nearly collided with her came to a stop as well.

The driver, gripping the steering wheel, leaned out of the window and yelled, "You were going the wrong way!"

"Didn't you see I had a kid on board? What the fuck, man!"

The driver looked thoroughly unimpressed. "Taking a kid for a ride on a souped-up motorcycle? You're just asking for trouble!"

Niamh immediately flipped him off. Beau, ever the eager student, copied her and flipped the driver off, too.

Gritting her teeth, Niamh wrestled her motorcycle free from the crushed guardrail and scowled when she saw the shattered headlight.

She had come here to mock Elara, yet now Elara had witnessed her own embarrassment. Not in the mood for an argument, she revved the engine and sped off.

As they disappeared down the road, Elara's heartbeat, which had briefly spiked, gradually returned to normal.

She turned to Bambi and said, "Come on, let's head upstairs and finish packing."

From now on, no matter what happened to Beau, it had nothing to do with her. Seeing how much he clung to Niamh, she had already prepared herself for the worst.

…

For the past few days, Elara and Bambi had been staying in a hotel. She had been searching for a new place to live, but even renting wasn't easy.
