“Elaenor.” He stops, catching me by surprise, and looks at me. “I apologize for any pain I caused you. I don’t know if us kissing or maybe the way we were sitting contributed to your pain, I just don’t like seeing you hurt or bleeding.” His eyes are lined with silver as he looks down at me and it nearly knocks my breath away. I have never seen anyone look at another this way, with such care and desire. I reach for his other hand and bring it to my face, wanting no distance between us.
Okay, cute. Still feels like manipulation... Theo seems like the better half.
