He grabbed her hand and walked with purpose back down the hall towards where they had been before.
This time, Maria did not pull away or protest, she simply followed after him, her mind not focused on anything but finding answers.
That kiss was the second time Arthur pulled away from her before she had had her fill, and this time she wouldn't let him go until she could figure out why he had made her feel a type of way that Rafael didn't.
He made sure to look down every direction of the hallway to make sure they hadn't been seen by anyone, before he turned into a vacant room and pulled her in with him.
He let go of her hand before he locked the door and finally turned to face her, unmoving.
She should have left because it would cause a scandal if anyone found her locked away in a room with a man before she was married, but at that moment she did not care.
All she cared about was understanding the mystifying connection she felt to the man in front of her.
