What is one thing you're afraid of? he asked. She glanced up from her plate and absently stabbed her food with her fork.
The dark, she replied without thinking. Ashton studied her with a look of curiosity.
The dark, he repeated, and she nodded.
Not so much the dark, she amended, but what might be in the dark.

Except there's nothing in the dark, he countered. She studied him for a long minute.
You can't say there's nothing in the dark, she replied, because it's dark. I don't think most people are unafraid of the dark. They're just happier not knowing what's out there, but pretending nothing is hiding in the shadows doesn't mean there's nothing out there. It just means you aren't prepared. I'd rather prepare for what might be, than pretend there's nothing to fear.
So, what's in the dark? he questioned, intently curious. Béa pressed her lips together to keep her thoughts from spilling out, but they managed to push through.
Monsters, she answered, hiding behind men's faces.
