I always try to put myself in every character's shoes to feel their emotions while writing them. Although I don't know if readers feel that way. Here are glimpse of today's chapter:
{At that moment, as thoughts of Ethan flooded my mind, my gaze shifted abruptly towards him. I turned to him and blurted out,
"Are you alright, Ethan?"
I won't be able to forgive myself if something happens to him.
Ethan is still visibly fatigued. However, he gently placed a hand on my head and started patting it.
"I'm fine, Bian. I ran all the way from the main gate; that's all."
He offered me a reassuring smile. His words were like a balm that soothed my frayed nerves.
Yet, the weight of these moments is too much for me to bear.
I immediately lowered my head, my hands gripping the fabric of my dress tightly. Tears welled up in my eyes, falling to the ground.
No matter what my eyes see, or how much my head tells me, it's an illusion. But deep within my heart, an ominous certainty persists.
Maybe something dreadful could have happened just a few seconds ago, and the unsettling truth is that all of this is going to happen because of me.}
