Julian laughed softly as he turned away from Eleanor. "When fear gets caged with no way out, Interest rises. And when that interest rises, it can turn into something more. Something you never wished for. Something dangerous."
Julian's smile widened as he spoke, "And all I am doing is playing with her fear, so that something isn't just a possibility... but a certainty."
How can I feel or fear, when I am walking the path of playing with them.
Eleanor's heart raced, her hands trembling as she struggled to process Julian's words. She didn't know how to respond, or even fully comprehend the depth of what he had just said.
However, Julian simply laughed and gestured for her to leave the room. Eleanor did as she was told and made her way to the door.
She froze at the door, her hand still gripping the handle as Julian's voice echoed in her ears. "But that doesn't mean I don't love you. I love you enough to twist your fears, to make sure you are all mine."
