Alaric silently went along with Ravenna, until she stopped before the sofa. She gestured at him to sit down and he did as so, obediently, but his eyes never left hers. Ravenna sighed and sat beside him. They didn't say a word for a long time, and it was only when they were interrupted by footsteps did they snap out.
Ravenna turned towards the door, led by Finn and Zander and behind them was Luke, Zeke, Seth and finally Nyx. Sudden emotions rushed inside her looking at each one of them: who had played big roles in her previous life. Subconsciously, she stood but was immediately pulled back by the Alaric.
Ravenna let out a low gasp, looking at him questioningly.
"You said you won't leave," Alaric spoke in a low, and somehow desperate voice.
"And I won't," Ravenna said, putting her free hand on top of his.
Alaric went silent for a moment before he nodded his head. "Then, I'll let you rest first." He was about to stand up but she stopped too.
"I can't. Not now."
