I had my eyes closed, my gaze down to the floor. But then I open my eyes and raise my head up when I did not hear anything from him.
Everywhere had become too silent. I wondered if everyone had left and it is just us. I open my eyes and see that there is still a frickin audience! They are all being silent and watching like it is the most interesting thing they've ever seen in their lives. Some faces are looking at me in a stupid sympathetic way. Silently telling me I'm done for. It is daunting. Maverick's face is the most daunting to look at. So I cut him out of my eyesight and focus them only on Calyx. The fact that he is so tall and impeccable looking did a part in that.
