145 Her Nightmare

Instead of answering Liam, Lana exhaled loudly, averted her eyes from him and suddenly stood up. 

"Excuse me, Liam… I… I need to go to the restroom," she whispered and left Liam in a rush. Her eyes had started stinging again, and she needed to get back her control on herself.

Gracy noticed that and smirked as she could execute the first step of her plan. She looked at a particular direction to give a signal to follow Lana.

Lana went to the restroom and looked at herself at the mirror. Her eyes were red and tears swelled at the corners of her eyes. Any more delay and Liam would have seen this dilemma of hers. 

She didn't want him to realise an ounce of her feelings for him. Yes… she knew there was something and Liam's distance was making her realise things in the worst way it could, Gracy's presence was smothering her heart and her resolve bit by bit, but she didn't want to lose it… not yet… what if…?
