WHEN hearing the door click open,
Anastasia would immediately turn to
see the man standing in the doorway.
She stared at him for a moment, soon
rushing to wipe the tears from her face.
“You really scared me! You should knock
before you enter you know” She joked,
using her sleeve to wipe her puffy eyes.
It was heartbreaking to see her like this. Especially after having promised to take care of her. What had he missed? Quickly he closed the door behind him, concern lacing his voice.
“A-AH. Nothing. Nothing happened,
you just scared me is all.”
It was a half-baked lie, but it would
give her time to think of a better one
in the mean time. “I wasn’t expecting
anyone to come in, and I thought you
were a ghost!” She added, letting a
soft chuckle follow her words.
