"Oh please, oh please…. Let them not see us. I can't…. I really can't". She was being hopeful of the outcome that is to be revealed. Every step that her Father took towards them, were like hidden thorns striking her chest. During that moment, she felt someone's hand upon hers. It was Rhett, he was trying to calm her down, with his aim of making her be less nervous and scared as she was now.
[She inhaled sharply, just watching what would happen next].
Her whole world felt like it was almost over when her Father reached over to the curtains.
That hand of his grabbed on the curtains and opened it wide, thus making the full moon light reflect inside the hall.
Even though they didn't get caught because it was the other curtains by their side he opened, her heart wouldn't stop beating fast.
