Mr. Torres has been very strict with himself since joining the army.
The only time he lost control was when something happened to Loraines parents. He used all his resources to find Loraine and bring her back.

Marcos heart ached. Loraines indifference only made him feel more uncomfortable.
Unskilled at expressing himself, Marco pressed his lips together and sat beside her in silence.
