He was filled with longing.
This incredibly clear longing, tinged with a hint of madness, was transmitted to her through his gaze, instantly leaving her at a loss.

He continually compressed the space around her, leaving her feeling cramped and suffocated. With nowhere to run, she had no choice but to cling to him, praying the storm wouldn't leave her battered and adrift.
In the cramped space, her delicate foot accidentally stepped on the top of his. She instinctively tried to pull it back, but he was so close she had nowhere else to put it.
