Evie's eyes widened. She closed her lips then opened again to talk but no matter how hard she tried, no words seem to be able to proceed from her mouth. She tried again and when there was still no sound coming out, Evie gasped out in horror and shock.

"Evie –" Gav narrowed his eyes and was worried at Evie's increasing panic.

"Oh god! I can't… oh my god, I can't say it Gav!" Evie's was breathing hard, and her eyes were wide with alarm.

"The things you saw… you can't say them out loud even if you wanted to?" Gavriel was frowning, worrying again because Evie's starting to panic once again just after she had calmed down not too long ago.

"Yes. I'm trying to say something, but my voice is just not coming out. My mouth… I can't say it, Gav –"

"Shh… don't panic, love. It's alright. We'll think through this. Breathe love…" he coaxed her again and Evie listened to him.
