When Zary could not respond to his question immediately, Sam asked again in a low voice. “Am I… so scary to you?”
His question caused Zary’s eyes to stretch wide. Then she shook her head. “No.” she immediately answered. “No. Not at all Sam.” She bit on her lower lip. “Look, you’re not scary at all, okay? If you’re scaring me, I wouldn’t have taken you along with me in the first place. It’s just that… I think, I’m just a bit nervous.”
“I would never hurt you, Zary.” Sam reminded her seriously, as if wanting her to know that he would always have her best interest in his mind.
His response caused her to stammer. “I- I know. I never once thought that you would harm me, okay?”
A charming smile flashed across his handsome face and the tension between them was somehow dispelled. That smile… Zary found it really cute and sexy at the same time. And she just automatically smiled back in response to that smile.
