Blaze repeated his query as he approached her, cutting her off with what she had to say: "You're what? What are you doing here at this hour when you should be drifting off to sleep and resting as we have been expecting from you?"

Without giving it a whole lot of thought, she cried out, "I was waiting for you." And when she witnessed the response that her statement caused Blaze, she wanted to hit herself because of her foolishness again. Whenever the man is in front of her, she just loses herself in his stare.
