Chapter 135: Naomi
Daniel didn’t even help her up, he just turned away, fisting his hands in his hair, walking away like he was exasperated about something- frustrated.
Dora had seen Naomi without her mask on, so it wasn’t a big deal for her. But why was Daniel... overreacting.
Naomi stood. Nervous wasn’t even a word to use for how she felt now. She turned to Barton with huge pleading eyes, and Barton came to stand Infront of her, causing Dora to realize the warmth she had felt all these while was from him.
"Daniel... can you... can you just calm down."
"Calm down?" Daniel chuckled and grimaced his face like he had never heard the word ’calm down’ before. "You want me to calm down?"
Dora just stared at everything in confusion, making no attempt to move or say anything, but just watch.
Right now, Naomi was leaning back against the car, cowering, Barton before her who was acting as a shield since it looked like Daniel wanted to rip her to pieces.
"Maybe I didn’t see clearly... maybe I’m seeing things." He pushed Barton aside and grabbed Naomi’s chin, roughly titling it up to stare down, taking in her full features for the first time.
In a long time.
