"How was the food?" Atlas asked breaking the silence surrounding them after they finished eating. Someone had come to take their plates away.
"Delicious!" Meredith stated with a huge grin on her face. Atlas look at her eyes gleaming with happiness and he felt his heart fluttered.
He wondered how in a short span amount of time she had been able to evoke more emotions in him than he has ever felt since his parents died. Only she could bring warmth to his cold, dead heart.
That's why he panicked and avoided her for days. Because he was obsessed with her and the feelings, she evoked in him. That made him feel vulnerable and he hated that feeling.
"What's wrong?" She asked, her expression sliding into a frown. He found the way her eyes narrowed and her eyebrows pulled together cute.
A flicker of smile passed his lips and he shook his head, "Nothing. I'm just stunned by your beauty."
