In The Eyes of the Beholder

Kaia was pulled into the room by Carlotta's incredibly strong grip. She swallowed her saliva hard, though her mouth felt dry as she took in the room.

Her body relaxed once she took in the humble living space. It has a single bed at the side of the room, right next to the window. There is jewellery everywhere in the room, on the table, the bed, floor, chairs. Everywhere.

"Why do you have so many … of these here?" Carlotta asked, watching where she stepped so that she would not accidentally step on something.

"I make them myself so I have them loitered around. I was not expecting guests so I hope you don't mind the mess." He said, walking from the kitchen, which was just five-step away from the living room and bedroom.

Kaia vigorously shook her head, a broad smile on her face as her hand didn't shake as much anymore.
