Stone Circle Testing The Waters

Brynn froze at his words, a sinking feeling settling into her stomach. They way he phrased it, she knew what he had to say wouldn't be good. She was so distracted by the pounding in her head from her racing heart, that she couldn't even decide how she felt about his proclamation of love. She was pretty sure she felt the same way, but the foreboding of his statement overshadowed everything else she was feeling at the moment. 

She moved back, breaking their contact to look at him. Suspicion and fear replaced the contentment and happiness that had just been in her expression. Swallowing hard, she finally spoke, "Okay...What do you need to tell me?" Her tone was wary. She was afraid to hear what he had to say, but never one to run away from tough situations, she met it head on bracing herself for whatever bad news he had for her.
