Felix's vision was swimming in and out of focus. She did not know where to concentrate to stop her heart from bursting.
'What is wrong with me? Why is my heart beating like this? I know I am a coward, but this feels different from all the other times I have felt scared. This feels…more personal…'
Not only was it difficult for Felix to look at Lea, but it was also impossible for Felix to meet Lea's eyes. She felt more nervous than she ever had in her life.
And the worst part was - Lea was not even doing anything. She just stood at her place and waited for Felix to say anything.
"Stop teasing the poor child, Lea. I can see that Felix cannot take it anymore. The poor girl might start to cry at any second now. Why don't you pay attention to me instead and let Felix gather her thoughts."
It was the best idea Felix had heard. She should be happy and glad that Lea looked away from her.
