HYPOTHESIS CONTRARY TO FACT
↳ CHAPTER SEVEN :: SETTLE DOWN [ READ HERE ]
“Well, what can you do, Peter?" she was rather exasperated by his non-answers to her questions.
"I don't know!" he raised his shoulders up, eyes going wide, "All I know is that I got bit by that spider and now I can hear, see and do things that I shouldn't be able to hear, see or do." he admitted, eyes still as wide and his cheeks a little pink in color. Like he was embarrassed by it.
Molly considered him for a moment, then turned to face front for a moment. A beat passed, then she quickly turned and threw her fist out and toward Peter as if going to punch him. In an instant, Peter contorted his body to avoid her fist. The only issue was that since she hadn't set her feet, and there was nothing but air for her fist to go into, the force of her punch tugged her forward.
Tripping over herself, the floor came into view and she went to catch herself on her hands. But before she could, Peter caught her. Well, steadied her. Made sure she didn't face plant into the linoleum flooring.
She was back on her feet in a blink of an eye. With her hands on his forearms. And his hands on her hips. Close enough to each other that she could look at him and see how the light made little flecks of gold dance across his irises. The way he looked at her made her heart tightened behind her sternum. Soft concern. No one had ever looked at her like that.
