His voice was forthright, genuine and honest. There was no amusement and no frustration in his tone. Each and every word held a note of authenticity. I could feel myself putting a little trust in him. Maybe I might have misjudged him since the beginning. I felt the guilt tear me from inside out.
"I---I am---" I began to speak but my words trailed off.

Lucas arched his eyebrows. "What?"
"Uh nothing--- Nothing at all." I looked away from those bewitching eyes of his.
He withdrew back and again stood a few feet away from me.
