Stuart held her arms tight out of anger, he was shaking her body lightly, the veins on his arm popped out, but his hand was utterly gentle, they had no strength in them at all.
She is so tiny and skinny, what if I hurt her? He thought.
"I'm scared that… the answer I get will be that you don't want me." Edie said while shivering, and she could no longer hold back her tears, she blinked her eyes sadly and avoided eye contact with Stuart. She didn't know where to put her hands, so she kept fiddling with her clothes, squeezing it, then releasing, squeezing it, then releasing, it was her way of calming herself down.
A girl in a foreign country mostly intimate to Stuart.
If he didn't want her anymore, what would she do?
Because she loved him deeply, so she was afraid.
She wanted to keep her last bit of dignity so that when she cries, no one would see.
Stuart heard her shaky voice, and his body shook, the most tender part in his heart collapsed.
He couldn't do anything with her.
