CHAPTER 37: Rage Like Never Before

"What is it you wanted to talk about?"

Theodore was leaned against his desk, with his both hands gently enveloping Hazel's. He could feel the tremors coursing through her skin. And that had rose suspicions and concerns in him. She wouldn't be this scared and anxious for no reason.

"Hazel, baby. Let it out. What's disturbing you?" He said gently, raising her one hand and placing a kiss on back of it.

Hazel lifted her fearful eyes and looked at him. "Promise me, you will not be a-angry at me."

Her words made him lift his brows. "The fact that you are taking time to make that promise with me tells me that whatever you are saying will anger me alot. Will it not?

"It will." She mumbled with lowered eyes.

"And yet you want to tell me?"

"I have to." A tear slipped past her eye, rolling down. Theodore looked at it for some minute before sighing out and brushing it away with his thumb.

"Go on, then. I'm not making any such promise."
