Nayera looked at his eyes for a while and saw that he was genuinely worried for her. Thankfully he was not looking at her with the same pitiful gaze she saw in much vampires eyes tonight. Nayera averted her eyes and looked down at her hands.
Emmett stepped forward and touched her cheek softly.
"are you okay?" he asked very softly, nothing to do with his usual strict and stoic expression.
Nayera looked up at him with teary eyes and shook her head.
"I am not sure I will ever be okay again" she replied as a new set of tears came forth.
Emmett pulled her closer and hugged her. His hand rubbed her soothingly.
All this while, Emmett and Nayera stayed away from each other for no real reason. They both felt the pull of their bond. But they just focused on their work and only glanced at each other from afar when they had the opportunity to. Maybe they were just too shy to make the first step.
