Ryan didn't say a word other than looking at her. Rhea too didn't expect him to talk. From those reddened eyes, she could feel that something was off. Something was different from a minute ago.
Still, she managed to ask a question, "Does it hurt a lot?"
For this, he didn't reply either. His eyes told her it wasn't hurting him. Rhea moved her eyes back to his face from his forehead. Now she could see his eyes and his whole face just a few inches away from her face. She only realized that she had been standing too close to him.
She quickly pulled away her whole body from him. But before she could take a step back, Ryan had caught her hand.
Rhea was a bit startled as she continued to look at him. He looked a lot different from before. It slightly scared her. Still, she wasn't very much scared though. She continued to look at him and he did the same until he asked her a question.
