"Lyla, please don't ever think that about yourself. You are none of those things. Those thoughts never crossed my mind. I didn't want to cause you any trauma or distress or anything. When you said that you were scared, I thought that was your way of saying no."
"I don't know Maxten. I know that you make me feel things I've never felt, and it's terrifying because these are things I've never wanted to do with someone."
I turned her in my arms so that I could see that beautiful face. The hall light gave just enough glow
