Chapter 186: Let’s be friends (2)
"Annalise!" Thomas called after her. He was utterly confused by why she suddenly screamed and walked away from him without telling him anything. He looked down at the field to see Rafael looking this way and wondered if it had something to do with him.
Thomas wished Annalise would listen to him when he spoke about Rafael and it not being a good idea that she was so close to him or sometimes alone with him. Thomas could tell that Rafael felt something for Annalise and who wouldn’t? Annalise was a special woman and she was meant to be with someone who suited her. Not Rafael Callahan.
The man was her enemy, and even if he wasn’t, Thomas would not allow it.
Thomas started to follow Annalise before she could wander too far away and get lost in the crowd of people. He needed an explanation for what just happened.
Luckily, Annalise had not walked far away and he found her resting her head against a tree. Occasionally hitting her head against it. He had not seen her so troubled since the one time she challenged her father to a duel and lost.
"Annalise," Thomas said softly in a comforting tone to get her to stop hitting her head. "What happened back there?"
"I had a crazy thought so I came to fix my head. I am all better now," Annalise said, turning her head to look at Thomas.
Thomas was put off by a faint red mark on her forehead. Annalise probably did not know how much she stressed him out. "Please stop using this as a way to fix your head. It doesn’t work," he said, rubbing her forehead with his right thumb to soothe the pain.
"It does because now I am more focused on the pain than what was on my mind before. You should try it sometime when something is troubling your mind. You don’t need to do this," Annalise said, pushing his hand away from her head.
