Eva's reaction was immediate; her gaze dropped, and she began gasping for air.
It was evident that she was thoroughly overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment.
She felt a chilling uncertainty, as if Xylon's presence would soon dissolve, despite his words to the contrary.
The lingering memory of their heated argument about her becoming a demon haunted her, gnawing at her sense of security.
For a moment, she closed her eyes, seeking solace in darkness, attempting to gather the courage to confront her feelings.
As she slowly raised both of her trembling hands, it was as though she was reaching out to touch something ethereal.
When she finally dared to open her eyes, they met his intense gaze, filled with a mixture of emotions she couldn't decipher.
Fear gnawed at her insides as she searched his eyes for a glimmer of understanding.
