Diane sat at the bottom of the glass stairs. “What did you do this time?” the petite, auburn haired bodyguard asked curious.

“Is my brother still awake?”

“He turned in early.”

“Oh,” she said, unable to keep the disappointment out of her voice. “When do you think, he will let me visit again?”

Diane shrugged sighing heavily. I love this house of steel and glass, except tonight. It is busy suffocating me to death. I need you Xander, but for months, you have been in a world of your own. Come back to me, her mental-self pleaded.
