She gazed into his gorgeous emerald eyes, wondering how on earth she could be standing here, doing this. He looked straight back at her with that frightening intensity that made her freeze like a rabbit in the headlights. He held her gaze intently, making her legs turn to jelly beneath her. She could feel her whole body crumbling with the pain of the words which imminently fell off her tongue.
