"I am into you, Perdita Kartar," Sthena uttered, his gaze fixed on Perdita's shocked one. His hand held hers in a slightly tight grip in silent assurance of his intentions towards her and also as though he was afraid she would disappear.

Perdita opened her mouth to speak but no words could come out of her lips. All she did was stare at him as he did to her. She blinked rapidly to get herself down from the high horse Sthena was taking her to and also to get her thoughts in order.
