Noticing Erin's sudden look of surprise, everyone held their breath.
She gestured for Ellie to sit on the nearby couch and, after a quick glance at her eyes, circled around her, inspecting her carefully.
Erin's face was now serious, which was a rare sight.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Ellie asked, "Am I really hypnotized?"

Ellie nodded immediately. "Yes, exactly!"
She had been confused earlier.
She used to be obsessed with Darien, loving him to the point of insanity. She wouldn't have been willing to be his mistress for years, let alone act like a lovesick puppy.
The idea of him breaking up with her once felt unbearable, devastating.
