Zane knew he was a coward. The annoying kind, even to himself. After receiving confirmation from the man that they were indeed clearing Phoenix's room, he had gone upstairs. To take a shower, he had been training for hours… That was the ready excuse he gave himself as he went back up.

Why was he closing it, this was his house. But even after complaining, he did not open the window again.
