"Why are you here?"
A mutter escaped between the young woman's lips. She had a slight frown on while her eyes formed tears. Sill, she never let those tears scrolled down on her cheeks. She restrained the urge to cry out loud in this kind of situation. "Is that even a question to ask me, Veda?"
Azriel responded. His hand stroked the back of the young woman's head. It was gentle behavior. The warmth from him wrapped Veda to soothe her chaotic mind. She quieted down all of sudden. Fuck. This man calmed her so fast. Her heart was not racing like a horse.
It was tranquil. As if the world had fallen into peace at last. That world was hers. Her world had found the peace it had been hunting for years. But was it from the person she loved? No. This was unexpected twist. It was never Azriel Thornbury she wanted to find peace in.
