"Sounds a bit familiar."

  I think out loud, feeling

  a tad bit uneasy.

  "Oh really?" Ronin looks

  fascinated with me,

  showing a small smile.

  "Yes….." I reply, wishing

  for Ronin to stop staring

  at me.

  His red eyes feel

  Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

  as if they're drowning me.

  I want to ask so many

  things yet I feel so

  s c a r e d

  to do so.

  Before I

  can form any

  words,

  Cassandra exits from the kitchen

  with a tray.

  She ends up serving us a

  delicate meal.

  Cooked Salmon with stream

  beans and mashed loaded

  potatoes.

  For drinking there's either

  water or red wine.
