Pieck stared back at him in understandable shock as well, before she snapped out of it and stepped out of his reach. She looked around, to check if anyone else had witnessed what had just happened, before she shot him a glare that sent chills up his spine.
It wasn’t the glare itself that gave him a jolt. It was the tiny bit of life he caught in her eye when she gave him the look.
Good. That meant there was hope for her.”
