The sight that met my eyes forced me fully awake, as the maids had left nothing unturned, and had left the room in a glaring disarray, sending me into a state of great confusion.

Bruno asked, his finger tracing the point on the map, "do you think it'd be a good place for my hideout?" He continued with his eyes fixed intently on me,Even though his question had riled me up, I knew I shouldn't allow him to see through me, "well..." I began with a small shrug, "I'm sure you know what's best," I responded, keeping my voice small not to arouse any form of suspicion, "I know..." He responded, withdrawin

I answered, my smile faltering as I stared at him, "Thank..." He was about to say but suddenly stopped Immediately he saw my face, "Wait, were you crying?" He questioned, from the expression on his face I could tell that he was confused,"Huh!
