That's when I grabbed your arm. I can't explain it, but I instantly felt better. However I also noticed that you froze but only for a few seconds then you started walking again. So I sort of guessed something might have been off but you were too polite to tell me to let go." She said. "But I won't
also told her that it was very different with her. She could only imagine the thoughts going through Kaz's mind as to why that was so. "Because I've been locked up for so long, I've realized I'm not fond of crowds. When we were on the street and it started to get crowded I started to get scared.
She watched him as she apologized then continued. "Don't be upset with Jesper. But he sort of told me about how you have a hard time with being touched. That it seems to send you into a panic and the last thing I want is to make you uncomfortable." With that said she also didn't forget that Jesper

"I'm still thankful." She told him giving him a soft smile before he left to go to the other room. When Jesper spoke up Mira glanced over at him listening to what he said. Her brows furrowed curiously when he told her that Kaz usually hated to be touched. By anyone. That would explain why Kaz was
