RAINE'S REGRET

When Raine realized what she had done and saw the disappointment in Torak's eyes, she knew in an instant that she had hurt him.

"No… Torak… That is not what I meant." Raine was afraid when Torak put down his hands and stood there, staring at her impassively.

Her heart was beating fast as she watched the way Torak looked at her. His blue eyes were filled with discontent.

Torak had never looked at her that way before and this scared Raine. She stumbled forward and clutched onto his front shirt.

"No, Torak… I didn't mean to stand up for him…" Raine tried to explain herself, but in her panic state her words failed her.

On the other hand, Torak didn't reject her touch, but he didn't reciprocate with the same warmth that he always offered her before.

"You just arrived home. You must be tired, rest first." Torak said in a flat tone. The disappointment in his eyes had disappeared and Torak stared at Raine emotionlessly.
