'Chris? Chris?'
Her gentle voice pulled me back to reality.
'Yeah..?' I responded looking back at her.
'Are you okay? You kinda froze up' she asked worried sick.
Somehow her concerned look soothed my pain. At that moment all I could think was maybe if she was there for me during that time, it wouldn't have become a scar today. Well I can't blame her. It was my decision to push her out but at least I am happy that I was able to protect her.
'I am okay honey. I will be' I said slowly pulling her close.
'Just calm down..! Okay? I am here' she comforted settling in my arms.
I nodded slowly embracing her back.
'Chris?' she called after a few minutes of silence.
I looked down at her waiting for her to continue.
'Grayson is actually scared of you, right?' she asked me wearing an innocent look on her face.
I broke into laughter on hearing her question.
