I will marry Andrew...

Eva's eyes widened in disbelief as she processed Andrew's words. The revelation that someone had been killed so that she could remain in Waraka sent shockwaves through her. 

She couldn't fathom the magnitude of such a sacrifice, and the weight of it all bore down on her.

Looking at Andrew, her expression shifted from surprise to a mix of confusion and concern.

  Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, struggling to find the right words. "You can't be serious, Andrew. This...this is too much. Please, please just leave me alone."

Her plea was a mix of desperation and a need for space to process the information. 

She couldn't comprehend why someone would go to such lengths for her sake, and the guilt that welled up inside her threatened to consume her.

There was an undeniable connection between them, one that transcended mere friendship or romance.
