"He noticed."
Just two words formed one of the shortest sentences possible. Two words that held a simple meaning, carried a piece of straightforward information.
Two words shouldn't be all that hard to stomach. And yet, those two words pictured one of the few worst scenarios possible that Castor and Alice could experience.
"Shit…" Alice muttered, turning her eyes away from Castor's face and sinking deeper into her levi-chair. She lowered her eyes before hiding her face in her hands. "I'm sorry, I really am…"
"Stop it," Castor cut the girl's whimpering short. "There is no time to whine now," he announced before taking a deep breath and raising his face.
For but a second, Castor closed his eyes and held his breath. A few seconds passed.
"Haaa…." Castor released the breath that he held and opened his eyes back up.
