A kiss and a hiss

Sapphire's POV

We arrived the Clawson mansion after a few hours. The idea of living cooped up from now on with a bunch of unseeming rich folks made my hair stand on edge.

For all I know someone tried to poison Lance and like he said, it could be anyone, even his family.

Lance hadn't spoken to me since I talked back at him at the parking lot. I glanced at his direction a few times on the plane.He had been busy with his tablet as usual. Not saying a word.

He didn't mock me as usual or throw insults at me. It made me shudder. What was he possibly thinking? What was going on in his mind?

At the mansion, we were welcomed by the staff and the head butler whose name I found out was Mr Dawson. Elder Clawson introduced me to the entire staff and after a cherry welcome and tons of congratulations, I followed Lance to where would now become our bedroom.

It was larger than my entire apartment. Luxurious with a king sized bed as soft as wool. The room was finesse at it's peak.

"It's beautiful"
