Phoebe jumped near out of her skin at the sudden masculine voice behind her. She whirled around, hands clutched and held against her chest. Her eyes were wide and blood-shot from crying, the stains of her tears on her cheeks. Fear – that much was obviously written across her face. She was scared of him, scared of a lot of things, and his gruff manner was doing nothing to assure her that she was safe with him now present. Any other time she would have assumed him to be harmless and well-meaning; but not after what had just happened.
Her reaction was a bit over-dramatic given how on edge she was already. Phoebe’s eyes welled up with tears at his tone, lips trembling as she fought back more tears. “I-I-I’m sorry.” She stuttered, her voice breaking slightly. “I just wanted to look at the pretty things and forget.” A few tears fell against her will and she quickly wiped at her cheeks to dry them.
