"Reaper, I…" she tried to speak but found no words. He wouldn't accuse her of losing it unless she really did and she didn't know how that happened. She took a step feeling confused and shaking her head, her eyes glued on the hourglass as she tried to process and understand how that happened.
The hourglass disappeared and he closed the distance. Taking hold of her hand, he pulled her closer and for the first time, he saw fear in her eyes towards him. If he was someone else he would have been hurt but he felt nothing. Except the fact that he didn't want her to be afraid of him.
