"I want to answer your question" she said clutching her dress in her timid voice. She was very nervous, it was clearly seen on her face.
He looked at her for a moment and said in gental tone, not wanting to scared her again. "Come here. "
He said in a gentle voice extending his hand towards her.
"No I'm good here." She fisted her dress in both her hands.
"Love, there is no need for you to stand there, come closer to me," he said again in a loving voice.
"Actually I'm fine here."
"Avery, I told you to come here." Her eyes widened when he heard her full name come out of his mouth. It was rare for him to take her full name and he used to take her full name only when his temper was high. And that was now. Seeing that she was still standing in her place, his voice increased. "What's your problem. Don't test my patience Avery." He snapped at her making her flinch. Fear of him immediately appeared in her eyes, which did not hide from him.
