I said. He studied me for a moment. That pen turning between his fingers — slow, deliberate, the way he did everything. “Isabel.” His voice was quiet. Measured. The kind of quiet that was louder than shouting. “Do you understand what I’ve built for you here?” “I do. And I’m grateful—” “Are you?” He took one step closer. Not aggressive. Just — closing the distance. “Because gratitude looks like something. It has a shape.” My heart was beating faster than I wanted it to.

Ignoring their drama, I turned to the walk-in closet that once was my room with my suitcases in tow. “What are you doing?” Suddenly, her stomachache wasn’t an issue anymore because she scrambled to her feet to stop me.

something about the way he said this made me want to listen to him – it felt like that if I had defied him that I would pay the price. “Y – yes” I inwardly curse myself for sounding so weak , my voice trembled and stutter ; which made him smirk as he watched the way I feared him. He began strolling towards me , an action that had me slowly stumbling back. I did not want him close to me , something about the way he acted – it terrified me. I feel my back hit against strong bark , I shut my eyes in frustration as I know that I am cornered. I refuse to open my eyes , knowing that he is in front of – I feel him close.

To make things harder, Julia wants her to sit next to her – that means she needs to sit next to Gale as well. She didn't have any energy to make an excuse and wordlessly took a seat next to him. They were not touching, but the familiar feeling of him was emerging from deep within her heart. The feelings that were once buried and forgotten entirely. The yearning to be as close as possible.
