Kisara feels her nerves spark up all over again at that realisation. How many times has he run over this scenario in his head? At what point did he decide he should say something? What was the point of no return? It's not as though she can sit here and pretend she doesn't think about things like that. Of course she does. But it's just not a subject she can easily approach. Not with him of all people.
