In a knowing tone, Lara explained. I remained silent and listened to her carefully.
"What — what happened to me?" I stammered.
"Why don't you try to recall it yourself?" She offered me a gentle smile.
Lara then laid his hands on the side of the table. She spread her hands, waiting for my hand.
I glanced at her palm and then to her bright smile. Nothing bad would happen, right? Hesitantly, I still slid my palm in her hands.
They're really soft and cold.
Slowly, Lara wrapped her fingers around my hand.
"Be at ease."
Upon hearing her advice, I stabilized my breathing. Closing my eyes as I gathered my scattered thoughts.
Lara's beauty was too much of a distraction. I didn't want to look at her right now so I could concentrate.
As my breathing and shoulders eased, my mind drifted to what happened to me.
