Lucas was extremely shocked and didn't know exactly how to react while he listened to the beating of her heart. "What the hell?" he muttered under his breath as he was still working on believing what he was seeing.

"What?" she asked, confusion clouding her features, as he cradled her while staring into her eyes. "I don't- What do you mean –" she was cut off when he suddenly pulled her into a hug, burying his face in her hair.
