Logically, Severine knew Killian would never hurt her; even at his angriest, he wouldn't. Yet the intensity of his gaze still made her nerves go taut.
"Yeah?" she nearly stuttered.
Killian shook his head at her, sighing. [Don't do it again, alright? Don't disappear. It terrifies me. I end up dreaming about how we couldn't stay together in our childhood.]
Ah... How hypocritical of me, she thought with a wry smile.
She was the one who had pushed him away when they were kids. Even now, she had been the one with the initiative in her hands, and she decided to pull back just because.
Yet she was also the one craving his attention.
Wasn't that too ironic?
In this self-imposed isolation, she began to wish the days would move faster, just so she could be back by his side.
"Hmm, I won't anymore."
[Good girl.]
That praise, coupled with his delighted smile, made her ears heat up.
