Like he said, she did have quite a few problems, not only was she allergic to the smell of smoke, but she was also particularly afraid of thunder!!
The lightning flashed and thunder roared outside the window, as if each clap of thunder intended to blow the house apart.
With a loud boom, Sofia Hamilton's heart tightened a notch.
Ryan Gregory stood up to leave...
"Wait a minute!" she hastily grabbed the sleeve of his shirt, as if clutching onto the last straw that could save her life.
"What?"
"I... I..." She was too embarrassed to admit her fear of thunder and didn't want him to look down on her for it, so she steeled herself and pretended to say, "You... sit down, I have something I want to talk to you about."
What she feared most was being alone during a thunderstorm.
Sofia Hamilton's face turned slightly pale, her expression tense and unnatural, and she couldn't help but tremble at the sound of thunder.
Ryan Gregory frowned, "Are you afraid of the thunder?"
