[Estela's POV]
[Limit Break]
"Little Stela, is Leanna also staying at that hotel?"
I slumped on the car seat. My energy was drained from me that I couldn't even manage an eye roll.
"Yes."
"Is she doing well?"
"Yes."
"Is she still with your brother?"
"Very much so."

"Estela."
That got my attention. He rarely spoke my complete name.
I look at his serious face as he cupped my hand and captured my eyes.
Thump!
My heart slammed hard against my chest.
"Yes?"
I didn't hide the expectation and anticipation in my voice.
Zhander was hesitant as he averted his gaze.
Thump!
Is this it?

Zhander seemed to have found his courage when he held my eyes in his.
"I . . ."
Thump!
"Yes?" I urged.
"You see . . ."
"Zhander, what is it?"
