---- We both smile, looking into each others eyes.

His touch.

It didn't scare me Tt remained, he didn't let go and somehow that tether kept the shadows at bay.

Suddenly I felt like someone was watching us and when I look up, I see him standing there on the door.

Those green eyes rooting at me.

Thear my heart beating frantically.

But I don't pull my hand back from Lucas.

And that's when I see it.noveldrama

His hand It was all red and bloody, dripping with blood like he has slammed it against something again and again.

Concern fills my insides.
