 Irish eyes || Nanny McPhee
For a while, neither of them spoke. Damien could hear his heartbeat in his head, and each breath Isobel took in. He took his eyes off her only once and for the most fleeting moment. When he looked back up to her, however, she looked ... Devastated. Hurt. Embarassed.
And he was the one who caused it.
Damien rose from the chair, just as her voice rang through his ears and before he could do anything to stop her, Isobel was racing towards the exit of the library. "Isobel, wait ... please!" he called out to her. Who cares if it was the library, if he was going to be sent to Detention for shouting, then so be it.
And then his footsteps quickened as he raced to follow her, but once he reached the hall, Damien lost her. Looking to the left and to the right, she'd already gone.
Cursing under his breath, the Hufflepuff sauntered out of the reading lounge. |
