"Thank you for saving me," Avery repeated, making sure Sebastian heard her well.
"I thought...." Avery began as she wiped the tears off her face. She couldn't believe she was going to break down now.
"I thought I was going to die. I thought that was the end for me because there was no one in the woods," Avery said, her hazel eyes gazing at Sebastian, who remained indifferent as he stared at her.
"I know I have hated you. I know I told you I hated you, but you have saved me. And I must say, you have never mistreated me since I came here. Though you did everything against my will, you kept your promise."
"But for a while," Avery confessed as she tried to place her hand on her chest. Her heartbeat pounded loudly in her chest.
"Thank you for saving me. I want to say this to you."
Sebastian looked at the woman before him. His heart ached just by watching her like this and he wondered if his heartbeat was beating.
