Draven gave an unsure nod and grabbed her hand to exit the rain. "Well then, let's get out of the—"

"Draven, wait!" Avelina pulled him back, forcing him to turn and look at her.

Draven blinked, perplexed. "What's wrong?" 

"There is something that I must tell you." Avelina charmingly smiled at him. "I have been holding it in and preventing myself from saying it all this time. But that is because I have yet to come to a decision, however, now is the right time for me to tell you."

Draven gazed intently at her, wondering what it could possibly be. He was hoping everything was alright.

"I have been thinking and thinking, racking through my head, trying to come to a decision that appeared really hard for me to make. But I have fortunately been able to, and I must let you know because I cannot wait any longer." She shook her head at him.

Draven's brows wrinkled in perplexity.
