She didn't dare to show any fear before him. She didn't want him to know about her top secrets.
It's not like he was a bad person. He wasn't. He has always been the grey type yet something about him was so dark that was stopping her from fully trusting him.
Or maybe she just didn't want to come off as a mess before him. She wanted him to see the fearless her, the strong her, even the shameless her.
She was ready to kill her self-respect for him but she never wanted him to see her as a weak woman.
She was afraid, too afraid that he would leave her after finding out what a big mess she was.
He didn't say anything, he was looking directly into her eyes, for the first time.
He seemed as if he was trying to read her. And she was afraid that he might just become successful.
