BENEDICT

She look tensed.

But why? What happened while I was away?

It's as if something is troubling her mind and she doesn’t want us to know what it is. My brows creasing as she keeps fidgeting her fingers on top of her lap and how she’s avoiding to look me in the eyes. She’s nervous. And she’s scared.

Of what?

“You can tell us, Thea.” Khaleel reassures her.

“Yeah. You don’t have to be scared of Sebastian.”

I watch Thea as she bows her head down and shakes her head sideways. “You… you don’t understand.”

“Then you gotta let us understand.” I tell her.

She shakes her head again. She is hiding something but what could it be? Is it related to Sebastian? Or is it related about something else?

“What happened that night? During the party. Right when I left you with him.” Khaleel asks eagerly.

He stares at her impatiently. “C’mon Thea, you gotta say it!”

But Thea just kept crying and covered her ears with both of her hands.

“Thea…” I console her.

She shakes her head and breathes heavily.
