“Tell me! Or else, something stupid will happen. Answer me honestly.”
Emilia yelled on top of her lungs, making Henry whimper in response.
“What do you want me to say?”
He asked, full of aggression and anxiety, afraid that Emilia might do something unspeakable.
He was actually scared of her, in that moment.
He could tell by looking at her face, that she wasn’t playing her bluff.
She was actually considering jumping off the balcony.
She was feeling lost and hazy and it was Henry’s responsibility to make her feel protected and confident.
“The truth! Why do you care about me? Why did you do everything that you just did at the game table?”
Emilia yelled back at him and Henry closed his eyes, taking in the intensity of the moment.
He knew that Emilia had gotten to the truth by now.
