I knew you wanted something more

Tabitha was unsure how to react to Silas's behavior, but she found it enjoyable, and it positively impacted her mental state.

Everything that had happened to her wasn’t something she could take lightly. It affected her significantly, but Silas’s presence, just like that night, made her feel a bit better.

“I have a few questions for you,” Tabitha stated. She decided to engage in the conversation with Silas, considering he was the only one present and had initiated it.

It wasn't that she fully trusted Silas to open up to him; rather, she pondered what more harm could come after everything she had already experienced. It wasn't about letting him in completely. Tabitha simply desired a moment of freedom from it all, and Silas appeared to be the only person there for her.

“Go ahead,” Silas stated. He placed his elbows on the table and stared at Tabitha. His tone and gesture showed he had a big interest in what she had to say.
