Steven looked at her, "Lift your head and look at me."
Hannah lifted her gaze, glancing left and right, but unwilling to meet his eyes.
Steven reached out, gently tilting her chin upward, "Hannah. Look at me."
"What's so special about your face that I don't already know? What's there to see?" Hannah retorted, still refusing to look at him.
Or perhaps it wasn't that she didn't want to, she was just too afraid. She feared falling for him again just because of one look.
Steven, unable to get through to her, decided to change the subject, "That stalker fan of yours won't bother you again, you can relax."d2
"Thanks." Hannah looked at her hands, "If there's nothing else, I should get back to my car."
Steven watched her, his voice low, "Hannah, don't you want to know why I'm here?"
Hannah said, "No."
When Steven didn’t reply, Hannah continued, "If you're not going to tell me, I'm leaving."
Steven said, "I flew all the way from Harbor City just to see you. After landing, Rick drove me straight to the supermarket where your family shops, then we followed your car, ending up stuck on the freeway with you."
Hannah nonchalantly responded with an "Oh," since it was what she had guessed.
Steven asked, "Oh? Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
