Chapter Fifty-Nine: Challenged
Sasuke was surprised. Hinata wanted to slow down? He held her gently, as she leaned in to him. They'd been moving at a snail's pace... but that was because he let her set it.
Her actions weren't those of a woman who wanted a guy to back off. So obviously, it wasn't the pace, and something else was bothering her.
However, he knew if he pressed, it was the surest way for Hinata to completely back off. He didn't want to lose her. He'd never been good at expressing himself, and it seemed he still needed to overcome that challenge.
