"Were you just with River?"
Seraphina's heart pounded in her chest as she sat frozen while Raven's question hung in the air. His eyes were dark and intense as they didn't leave her face while he waited for her response.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. The dream still lingered in her mind and so did River's kiss, the feel of his hands, the urgency that had left her breathless. Her pulse quickened as she tried to form words, but she was still too shaken to think clearly.
"Sera?" Raven's voice was low, but the edge to it made her flinch. He wasn't asking anymore... he was demanding an answer.
"I… r-right. I saw him," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. She didn't know how to explain the dream, didn't know how to justify River's sudden appearance when it was supposed to be her time with Raven.
