Daryn's trance broke. Startled, he looked at Maya who was trying to pull him away from there.
"Let's go," she said. "I want to stay with you. We are meeting after such a long time. Father has arranged for a party in the evening. I have to buy a dress and matching jewelry. You have to help me darling," she said in a husky voice.
Daryn didn't know how to react. He stared at Maya as if staring at a ghost. He was so fended off by her. She dragged him. Daryn looked in her direction but his gaze was blank, he did not see her. He let her pull her. At the same time he was disgusted by himself for liking a neotide to this extent. There was certainly something wrong with him. This was unreasonable, illogical.
