he runs after her, CATCHING HER ARM to prevent her from walking any further. she cannot leave now, not when she knows so little & thinks so WRONG of him.

She hates that his touch alone is enough to have her halting her steps ( it’s instinctive, she hadn’t even meant to ), hates that she wants to believe him, hates that she had been such a fool for believing him in the first place. She doesn’t meet his eyes when she finally speaks, voice low. ❛ Just answer me one thing — did my family’s company have anything to do with this? ❜ She can’t even say it — with us.
