Aiden couldn't express what he was feeling inside when he saw her like that. He didn't lie —it was killing him. Every second, every moment, every time, he realized that even with him being around, she still was suffering the pain that he had no idea about.

His jaws tightened as his careful patience began to slip. He had the world's tolerance when it came to her, but when she was like this … he couldn't hold on to it. "If you aren't going to tell me, Moon, I will find out my own way," he said, his voice low and strained, before he turned to get up from the bed.
But just as he was about to step away, Arwen's hand shot out and grabbed his, holding him back.
He froze and turned to look at her. Their gazes locked, and his frown deepened.
