54. Kevin

Ella's POV

Kevin and I continued dancing. It felt like a dream but I knew he was real. It was real and I didn't have much control. Here in this world that I was, I wasn't in charge. The count was.

He could come back at any time and I needed to talk to Kevin. I needed answers.

"Kevin,"

I winced as those dancing next to us glanced at me. I smiled at them in an apology, wondering why my voice was loud when I had been trying to whisper. It must be the excitement at seeing my mate.

I was glad that the lights were still dim or the others would have picked the emotions on my face. I was sure that what I was feeling at the moment was obvious. I hoped that Kevin couldn't see my face clearly as well.

It was enough that I was in his arms. I didn't need him to see how much I was happy to see him. I didn't want to show that much vulnerability to him.

"You aren't going to tell me why you are here, are you?" I whispered.

I was relieved that my voice was low and didn't go across the room like earlier
