The enigma that was Sofia Claremont stood before me, trembling and tearing up at the sight of me. I would've given the world to catch a glimpse of what was going through her mind. Was she so disappointed in me that she still couldn't bear to look at me even after I took her side in her case against Claudia? Was she unaware of all the heat I was under because of that choice?
Her green eyes – moistened with tears – pierced straight through me and I couldn't help but wonder why she had such an effect on me. Why was I willing to turn my entire world upside down on her behalf? And why didn't any of it seem to be enough for her?
What I would give to have you look at me the way you used to… My hand on her waist tightened and I could feel her body tense even more. "Why do you resist my touch?"
