Lucas covered his face hiding it with his palm, not letting her see him crying. He knew if she did, he would burst more in front of her and that was the last thing he didn't want her to see.
His emotions overflowed in front of her, his vulnerability had no limits and he would end up showing it to her without any efforts.
Elena felt a pang in her heart when she saw him hiding his face from her... She didn't mean to go this far, and now she cursed herself for making it so hard for him. She knew there must be reason for him to hide it from her but.... did she have no right to learn about it. Did he think he would handle everything by himself without letting her find out.
"Lucas" she called his name softly but even listening her voice he still didn't dare to look up. He kept hiding his face like he didn't wanted to talk to her and endure the pain by himself...
