Rhea POV
But he didn't say anything, thankfully, because I was already regretting the fact that I had said those words to him. Nobody made me feel that insecure, but there was something about this stranger that made my whole brain go haywire around him. Back there at the factory I had forgotten one of the most important rules of the Academy and my natural self-preservation instincts by staying back even when I had the chance to escape, just so I could help him get out.
I told myself that it wouldn't last anyway. Whatever I was feeling would vanish the moment he found a way to get to safety and I returned back home to my family who probably didn't care if I was dead or not.
When I glanced up at him to check if he was still staring at me, I found out he had already dozed off. Good thing
