Ivan's POV.
I don't know how many seconds or minutes I had been staring at Hazel.
But I do know the moment her face broke into a somewhat worried expression, I broke out of my trance.
" You look nice", I said to her hoping I didn't just sound polite.
" You look nice too", she replied with a small blush on her cheeks making me feel nicer than I had felt.
I didn't even feel nice, I felt normal.
Suddenly I came towards me and offered my arms" Shall we, the guests are waiting".
She nodded and slipped her arms into mine.
But I felt her grasp my arms tighter the moment cars were beginning to flood into the mansion.
" You don't need to be nervous Hazel, I am right beside you", I said to her reassuringly though I didn't look at her.
I couldn't afford to be lost in another trance.
