Feeling empowered by his words, Aria raised her hand and caressed Ben's cheek. He was so handsome, and she felt truly connected to him somehow, like she had been waiting all of her life to meet this man. It felt as though they had always known one another, and now that he was here and had impacted Aria's life in the way he had, exposing his way of life to her, there was no way Aria would ever be content to stay on the island, especially after Ben left. The sudden dark thought made Aria drop her hand away from Ben's face. They were getting too close, and Aria wouldn't be able to stand it if they were to do anything and then had to say goodbye in a matter of days.
