"What took you so long? Wait, are you alright?" Reina held my arms and looked at me confused because my face was probably as white as a ghost right now and I was terribly shaking.
"I-I'm just cold, I guess." I spoke as Isaac walked over to us, making me tense.
"Cold?" Reina looked at me in confusion.
"Are you girls leaving?" He asked, his eyes stopping on me and widening in worry.
"Are you okay, Lea? You look pale." He said concerned, placing a hand on my forehead and just as he did, his phone rang and he immediately pulled away, pulling it out of his pocket and putting it to his ear.
"Isaac Hudson." He spoke in a formal tone, his eyes slightly widening as he looked around cautiously before nodding furiously.
"Yes sir, I understand." He spoke somewhat concerned and scared before putting back the phone in his pocket and taking a step back from me, standing at least three feet away from me.
What was that about?
"Will you be okay?" He asked, dismissing the situation when I nodded, holding onto Reina for support.
"I'll be fine, just a little shaken up, I guess. The priest really gets you with all that 'You shall go to hell' talk, doesn't he?" I laughed a bit awkwardly and he nodded slowly, not fully believing me as some sort of realisation crossed his features and he pursed his lips.
"Alright then, I should be off. See you girls some other time." He said suspiciously as we bid our goodbyes and watched him go when he looked back at me once more with a look that screamed pity and sympathy for some reason.
"Seriously, Lea, you were in there for a while. What happened?" Sam asked but I softly shook my head and looked around, feeling as if someone was watching me as I started to walk forward in a haste.
"I'll tell you guys when we go back to the hotel. But we have to leave right now, or our lives might just be as good as ove—" And that was where I bumped smack into a hard body, but before I could hit the floor, I was miraculously saved when a pair of arms wrapped around my waist.
"Careful, fiore." (Flower) A soft whisper caressed my ear and the moment I recognized the voice, I was out of the embrace in an instant, eyes wide in alarm.
"You okay, Lea?" Nikki dusted off imaginary dust from my clothes and I nodded haphazardly, about to walk around the stranger without acknowledging him with my head low when a familiar voice called out to me and I winced internally.
"Azalea!" Ms. Giulia's shrill voice was unmistakable as she breezed through the crowd effortlessly and embraced me in a hug, nearly knocking the hat off my head as I held onto it with one hand and patted her back with the other with a surprised look.
