Dana POV
I couldn't bear the thought of Bathel leaving my side, the fear and uncertainty swirling within me like a tempest in the depths of my soul. As I gazed at him with a silent plea in my eyes, I felt a wave of pity wash over me, knowing that I was utterly dependent on his presence for comfort and strength in my time of need.
Bathel and I shared a wordless exchange, our eyes speaking volumes even as our lips remained sealed.
"Well-" Bathel began, but his words were cut short by Vivienne's interruption.
"This is a woman's conversation, and I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable, but this won't take too long," she asserted firmly, her tone brooking no argument. I sighed resignedly, the weight of my emotions pressing down upon me like a suffocating blanket.
I felt an overwhelming mix of stress, sadness, and anger churning within me, threatening to consume me whole.
