"The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again."
-Charles Dickens-

Ana woke up that morning all breathy, gasping for air as she felt like she was choking although nothing was really happening to her. She did not know why but she felt extremely tired, perhaps it was due to all the crying from the previous day. Then the realization hit her, it was the day Alexander would leave the house. This immediately woke her up and she went to take a quick shower before dressing in her everyday casual attire, a white blouse with black skirt and black faux fur neck warmer and ran out to seek for Alexander.
She had managed to calm herself down a bit and wanted to seek him to talk for the last time in a while, because she was determined it was not going to be the last time they spoke to each other. When she was walking some of the staff had called her out saying her father was waiting for her in the dining room to have breakfast

Though he was by title a bodyguard, he had invested in property and did coding on the side as well, something none of his employer knew about. The house he had chosen to reside after leaving the manor was a two floor house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a dining room with a spare storage and attic area located on quiet area right outside Moscow.

They had done several video calls before just to check up on each other. Ana also needed to meet her in person to check how she actually was after that rather traumatizing event.When she was about to enter, a guard walked up to her and asked her who she was and what her business was.

"Survival is the ability to swim in strange water."-Frank Herbert-***There was a bit of silence inside the car before Ana started a conversation after she had stabilized herself a bit. She was not supposed to be surprised when she heard that, because he did have a military past and if her father recruited her to be a bodyguard it must mean he was working straight from the field. Lots of things could happen in places like that so it only made sense, but it was still weird that people could kill others without any consequence, although in this case, it was an act of self-defense.“Is there anything else that I am supposed to know about you, Alexander? I think I don’t know much about you after all.” Alexander could not help but grin upon that question, of course there were many things she did not know about him and he did not think it was that important for her to know considering that he had spent more time wit

He was in his office trying to distract himself with work but for some reason it was very difficult for him to finish even the simplest task without drinking any pills to calm himself down. It was possibly one of the strangest thing he had ever experienced, he knew he was not obsessed.
