"Are you okay?"
Aella felt a hand covering her shoulder and she swallowed the tears that were threatening to fall out before she looked up at the male who was looking down at her with concern in his golden orbs.
Seeing his face only reminded her of the nightmare she had of him just a few minutes ago. Her head still couldn't register why and what that dream meant to her.
Was Bane in any trouble? Was anyone coming to apprehend him? What was even going on?
"Yes, I am fine," Aella responded and stood on her feet as she wiped the tears from her face.
"But you are crying," Bane let out as he laid a palm on her cheek.
Aella pushed away from him, feeling a little uncomfortable with his overburdening presence. She didn't know what had gotten into her and why she was behaving like this but she deduced it was the words her mother had uttered in the hallway.
