Draven was very honest with his words. "Because it is not something you would like to know,"
"Also, I do not want to say. I cannot bring myself to tell you, so I would rather you not ask."
Avelina could only stand and stare at him. She wanted to know, but since he had said it was best not to ask, she did not see a reason to probe any further.
"Listen to me, Avelina..." Draven smiled at her, although the smile did not reach his eyes like it normally would. "…I will not leave you. I'll keep my distance, but I'll always be within your reach so that when you extend your hand for me, I will be there to grab it. So do not worry, alright?"
Avelina's hands shook vigorously, and she could swear she felt like her heart was pierced by hundreds of needles.
