Henry’s gentle eyes instantly turned sharp when he heard the last sentence. He tightened his arms until Kate had no way to escape him anymore.
He had been calm and collected the whole time because he didn’t want to scare or force himself on her.
But she kept pushing his buttons, and her last sentence was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
"Scrap that idea. You’re not allowed to find someone else other than me," Henry said. His eyes were deep and full of possessiveness, much to Kate’s surprise. "You really think that you can escape me after I pour all of my heart into you."
"H—Henry?" Kate didn’t know what happened to him. She thought he’d just stay there and allow her to vent.
"You don’t know how far I am willing to go just to embrace you, Kitty," Henry said. "You own my heart now, why can’t I own yours as well? Do I lack something? Why do you keep doubting me?"
"It’s just... I don’t know what I should do with this growing feeling," Kate said. "You are too much for me, Henry. I don’t want to fall in love, only to get hurt later. I can’t trust you and I don’t know how to trust you."
Henry began to get swayed by Kate’s emotions as well.
