Dad(2)
(From Ella's Perspective)
"How can you trust someone this much in such a short time?" he asked.
"I just do. He is a great person. He can be a bit cold and harsh towards others, but he cares for me. He truly does."
"How old is he?"
"Twenty-two. Not too old. The age gap is not too big, right? He is only five, no, four years older than me. I keep forgetting that I'm eighteen," I said. "But I still don't understand why you couldn't touch me."
"Because you didn't want me to," he said weakly.
"What? It's not like... But Dane could touch me. I mean, I shook hands with him. He did not flinch. Well, I don't know if he is a shifter either. Perhaps he was a human."
"If he is a human, then he won't feel this when he touched you. No human will feel anything. As you're half marked, only humans will be able to touch you even if you don't want them to. But shifters can't."
"I don't understand."
