10

Vera knew she wouldn’t be sleeping in her bed tonight.

She seems that she wasn’t supposed to.

She only thinks that because she has only been here for two nights and both nights she wouldn’t have slept in her bed.

Luke took this as a good time to bring up what she meant when she had told him about not for little kids ears.

‘What did you mean?’ Luke suddenly said.

It startled Vera to look at him.

Luke was already watching her and so, he had seen how startled she had been.

It made Luke frown.

This made him mad. He was really mad.

Not at Vera though.

He wanted to protect her.

‘I apologize,’ Luke sincerely says to her.

‘It’s ok.’ Vera says and then moves over to the chair she was earlier and then sat down.

‘What do you mean?’ Vera says.

‘When you said not for little kids ears.’ Luke said without thinking.
