Goosebumps covered her body and she took a deep breath. She tried to stay calm and concentrate on what was happening. She couldn't lose control now.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked and although she tried to sound calm, she heard her voice shaking. She wondered why she was so nervous, knowing that there was no choice but to face this situation.
She couldn't show any weakness. She didn't just have to fight for herself anymore. She suppressed the urge to place her hand on her stomach.
