Big night

The sight of Sebastian being the one to appear when she was being afraid and unsettled had Elle feeling an unspeakable sense of relief washing over her. The dread that had initially gripped her had melted away and disappeared like it had not been there in the first place. Her entire frame relaxed and she could even feel her knees wobbling a little.

When she rushed towards him with such relief, Sebastian instantly moved to meet her halfway. He could sense and see how she was so agitated - perhaps even fearful - when he had walked through the door, and that had him on high alert for any danger nearby.

"What's wrong?" he asked, cupping both sides of her head gently with his hands. His gaze was searching as he locked his intense grey eyes onto her own trembling ones. 

Elle realized then that she must have alarmed him with her nervous expression and her jumpy actions just now. Thus, she took a deep breath and tried her best to compose herself.
