"Xan, I'm sorry, so sorry." Onion bowed his head, kissing her forehead, her tears incessantly, his heart nearly breaking with each of her sobs.
He shouldn't have scared her like this, but if he hadn't, how would he have known how much she cared for him? "I just thought," Xanthea sobbed, her small fists pounding on his chest in reproach, “I thought you were... "Thought I was dead?" "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Orion's lips curled into a joyful smile, his eyes gleaming with pleasure as he gazed deeply into hers, "Xan, I'd only die for you, but! couldn't bear you doing the sfor me." At the words "die for you" vivid memories of her past life flashed through Xanthea's mind-how he had killed Matthew and Miranda and then taken his own life. She quickly covered his mouth, "Don't say such things, no talk of dying for love." This life, we both must live well.
"Alright" Orion's eyes crinkled with a smile, holding her hand and brushing a kiss across her fingertips. “Xan, you care about me, don't you?" Xanthea bit her lip shyly, meeting his sincere and expectant gaze, her face flushed.

Orion heard it too, seeing the stark panic in her eyes, his usually gentle expression turned instantly cold. "Xan, Xan, where are you?" Matthew's voice grew closer, so close it seemed right next to her ear.
Once Xanthea confirmed it was him, she looked at Orion with panic, m "Orion, letgo for now. There are things I need to explain to you.. It will be very soon, but not right now." As she spoke, she tried to push him away." But instead of letting go, he pulled her even fighter.
Orion's sharp brows furrowed, a brief twist of uncontrolled emotion m flashing in her dark eyes, "Why not now? Is it because Matthew is here?" "No, it's not because of him. Please believe me, just let go, okay?" Xanthea was both anxious and nervous, but her gentle coaxing only made Orion's expression grow colder.
