"You have something to ask me?" Aiden asked, turning to Arwen, feeling her constant gaze on him.
Arwen stared at him, as though silently confirming to ask the stream of questions bubbling inside her. His demeanour seemed so open and amiable at that moment that Arwen felt that no matter what she asked at that moment, he would answer without hiding anything.
Arwen was tempted, knowing she would get all her answers, but it also scared her. What if his answer turned out to be something that she wouldn't like?
Could she bear to take the risk?
Maybe someday. But right now, her heart wasn't ready to face the truth.
Nodding, she replied with a smile, "I have a lot to ask you. But can I not ask you now?" She paused before taking a deep breath and added, "I don't want to ask them right now, but can you promise me that in future, whenever I come to ask you the questions I have today, you will answer me with the same honesty that you have in your eyes now?
