Evaline:
"River..." I said in a much softer voice which was less demanding and more pleading. "Please. Let go."
His eyes locked with mine. They were dark and unfocused, yet still burning with that maddening intensity he always carried. He didn't move and his weight above me started feeling too real, too solid. His grip on my wrists, though not painful, was firm, grounding me beneath him.
Then, just when I thought he might actually start talking or pass out-
Thump.
"OW!" I gasped as my vision blurred with sudden stars. "What the hell?!"
He had just... headbutted me.
Full-on. No warning. He just lowered his damn forehead and slammed it into mine like he was greeting me the way rogue wolves greet each other in battle, painfully and without common sense.
"River Thorne!" I hissed. My eyes had already started watering. "You. Are. Insane!"
