Ned's face was slightly somber, his eyes burning with a mad, feverish obsession. He frantically started fumbling with the button on her pants. When the button wouldn't give, he lost it completely and began tearing at it like a maniac, desperate to rip it open.
At that moment, Sophie suddenly snapped back to reality. Coming to her senses, she panicked and shoved him away with all her strength.
"Stop it! You're scaring me!" she cried out.
Ned was pushed aside. Taking the chance, Sophie scrambled back to the corner of the bed and clutched a corner of the blanket to her chest...
Ned stared at her, rigidly, his handsome face completely blank.
"You said you just wanted to come up and see the room. Quit messing around!" she panted, murmuring to him.
Ned slowly sat up, kneeling on his own legs, his gaze never leaving her face.
The room suddenly fell silent. They just looked at each other, neither speaking for a long, long time.
