Horrendous

It was silent for what left like an eternity, Gray and I stood outside the door just staring at the women inside the door, who was also just looking back at us. No one dared to make the first move, I run my thumb over Gray's knuckles to show him I'm here but also in hopes to snap him out of it. It works and he begins to lead me into the room, the guard bows their head at us before leaving the room closing the door behind them. The stand off only continued, no one dared to move or even talk for a few seconds. Thankfully, Gray's mum spoke up.

"My baby look at you, you won't believe how much I've missed you" she says tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke, she then turns her attention to me stood beside Gray "you must be his mate, oh my you're so beautiful" she smiles at me, I send her a smile back at her kindness.

"Thank you, I'm Clara" I smile wondering if I should shake her hand, but before I could Gray gives my hand a little squeeze indicating he didn't want me to do that.
