Will you hate me?

## Warning and spoiler: There is a crucial plot detail in this chapter after the (-------) section divider. ##

Aarvi knew she was being over-sensitive when all he wanted was to avoid triggering her panic. Leaving his worry, she was also aware that she didn't dare to look down at him because she was afraid of going back on her decision of helping him.

She thought to face her fear to overcome it but forgot she also needs his approval.

Aaron didn't want to make her embarrassed. He was worried that she might get scared as the fear was too deeply rooted in her.

'Control.' He chanted it more than a hundred times to restrain himself. He really doubted he might pin her down then and there if he stayed there any longer.

Nonetheless, he was ready to go through any torture for her. So he wouldn't dare to do anything that would hurt her physically or emotionally.
