He was always so stoic and guarded, but now there seemed to be something else lurking beneath the surface. It was both unsettling and intriguing.

His low voice snapped you out of your thoughts.

"Something's bothering you."

His icy blues eyes pierced into yours. Something about that look felt so utterly wrong.
