It was just straight up the most serious silence and standoff that James ever had in his life.
Charlotte's blue eyes just fucking swallowed him whole, not like a void but like waves that just hit you in the face, you just drown in it… it was suffacting, just like how Lucian's eyes were… but there was nothing on her face emotion-wise.
She just stared up at James, with her big eyes, not even blinking, just staring deep, not a single tear, not a single smile, nor anything that could imply what she was feeling like… she just looked emotionless.
But oh man, she was up there, her heart was beating fast just like back in the time when he was still at the Augustus house, when she witnessed things… she felt like she was going to explode at any moment, but she inherited what Lucian had, that poker face, without any emotion on it… at least when he was still sane, and not a paranoid fucker.
