⠀⠀ ︎ ︎︎ “ p-please let me go- ”
@huntsown her bottom lip quivered as she was forced to look up at him. there was no hiding the fear in her eyes now.

@huntsown instinctively she took a small step back , shaking her head not knowing what he could possibly be getting at but keeping her guard up.
and that answer .ᐣ it was ( perhaps obviously ) a lie. but she was in his space and ┈
@veiledtestament if her heart still had a beat , it would have stopped from guy's offer. no one had ever offered her something of this caliber. her brows furrowed as her head tilted once more to point her gaze toward him.

his thought process was correct , truly. normally she would not be found in a secluded corner of a certain rocker's after party , but here she was — sat upon the chaise lounge. her own warm smile was cemented as she heard ┈
