"What happened here?" Torak suddenly appeared and grabbed Raine's arm, turning her body to face him.
When Torak saw her tears, he knew Serefina had let loose her vicious tongue again.
"Why are you crying?" Torak wiped the tears from Raine's cheeks. The mask couldn't hide her sad eyes and he could feel his frigid heart ache uponseeing her devastated expression. "Tell me, what is it?"
Without caring about his image and people's attention around them, Torak pulled Raine close to him and hugged her tight. He rubbed her back to calm her trembling body.
Instead of looking at the starry sky and waiting for the fireworks, people around them zeroed in their attention on Torak and Raine, though they wondered why they were not able to hear a single word from themregardless of their close distance. They couldn'thelp their curiosity.
Serefina's spell still worked after all. There was no way people out of her magic circle could hear them.
