"Thank you for taking me home," Kathrina said as they arrived in front of her apartment door.
"Are you okay?" Arthur's gaze was layered with worries. He could still feel her trembling like a leaf in his arms, yet now she was putting on a brave face.
It took a long time for Kathrina to calm down until he managed to get her into his car. Even then, she was absentminded. They never talked during their journey from the hotel to the apartment. Kathrina was battling with her mind while he was cursing the one who caused her pain.
"Hmm. You should go back." Kathrina tried to give him her best smile, but it was evident that it was fake.
"Okay then."
Arthur had no choice but to follow her words. Although he wanted nothing but to stay with her through the night, he also knew he had drawn the line between them.
"Drive safely," Kathrina said, then went into her unit, leaving Arthur rooting in his place.
