Kurumi could feel her heart pounding in her chest, but it was far from the usual reasons. The flush on her cheeks that had been there in anticipation of seeing him was slowly fading, replaced by her usual porcelain features and confused violet eyes. He was scaring her. Something was really bothering him, making him uneasy, and the fact that he was attempting to keep his expression and voice neutral was only making her more apprehensive.
"Lewis?" she whispered when he remained silent for much longer than was comfortable. This was almost worse than seeing him back in November after she had refused to see him for two months. No, it WAS worse. It was worse because she had no idea what was bothering him and it was causing her thoughts to swim, drown, in a sea of confusion and self conscious thinking.
"Lewis...please....sit down...you are scaring me..." she whispered again, this time reaching out for one of his hands with her own to give it a small tug.
Him rocking back and forth on his heels wasn't helping matters either.
Kurumi ended up gasping softly when he eventually spoke again, her violet eyes leaving his face to look at the envelope clutched in his hand. She still didn't let go of his other hand and didn't plan to. Especially not now.
She didn't reach for the envelope and instead tugged on Lewis' hand again. She wanted him to sit down, to be near her, and she was admittedly a little afraid of accepting the envelope from Lewis. Especially after he said who it was from. Her heart was pounding in chest again, almost in a suffocating way, and she swallowed several times with her eyes still on the envelope. "Y-Y-You...spoke with him?"
So many thoughts were going through her head right now that it was hard to keep track of them...save Jonathan wanting her to have something. Whatever it was he had given it to Lewis to give to her...and it petrified her.
