Following instincts (2)
Everything about Keith confirmed he was Arya's other half. But why was he reluctant to embrace her? Didn't she express her willingness to be with him?
Arya thought how it was ironic. Since guys started flocking around her, she always wondered if there would be one worthy of her. All the attention she received made her feel she was above others. Yet here she was, standing in front of a complete stranger, looking like a mess, and wondering if she was good enough for him.
She would call his name, but she realized that she didn't know it. It didn't matter. Adam, John, or Klark, it wouldn't change how important he was.
"What do you say? Will you give me a chance to show you that I could be a mate worthy of you?" Arya asked Keith.
Keith swallowed hard. His mouth suddenly ran dry. Was Arya serious? He could feel her doubts and reluctance, but there was also determination and attraction, and… she wanted to be with him.
