247 A wish

Jeremy didn't look away when Chloe turned to look at him. They both stared at each other for a while until Jeremy reached to touch her face with his hand.

Chloe's gaze moved away from his face to look at the hand which was about to touch her. She watched his hand with furrowed brows. It was as if he was trying to make up his mind whether to touch her or not. 

Just before his hand got to her face, he stopped and withdrew his hand sharply and cleared his throat.

"Are you... sick?" He asked in a gentle voice.

For a few seconds, she didn't answer. Her gaze moved back to his face before she sat comfortably to watch the events on the stage. There was a couple dancing on stage which a lot of people seemed to be cheering for. 

"They are quite talented." She said, deliberately ignoring the question Jeremy asked her.
