Harrison's grip on Lyra tightened, but his touch gentled. He pulled her closer, his chest pressing against hers. "Why should I let you go," he whispered.
But Lyra's sobs only grew louder, her body shaking with anguish. She tried to push him away, but Harrison held fast. "Get out!" she ordered, her voice shaking with rage. "Leave me alone!"
Harrison didn't move, his face still buried in her hair. Lyra's words hung in the air, but he didn't respond.
"GET OUT!" Lyra screamed, her voice echoing off the walls. "SECURITY!"
Harrison's head jerked up, his eyes wide with shock. He slowly released Lyra, his arms dropping to his sides. He took a step back, his eyes never leaving Lyra's face. "Lyra, please..." he whispered, but she turned away, her body language screaming, "Leave me alone".
