"All along.."

Valke had gently covered her and went to have his shower. When he stepped out Amy was awake sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes.

She yawned.

"Morning," she said.

"Morning " he smiled at her messy hair.

After a bath, they helped her in her now clean clothes that the maid had washed.

"My hair," she said.

He frowned bent down and passed his hand through it.

"There, all good," he said.

Amy looked in the mirror and frowned.

He sat her and called the maid again who was more than happy to help with Amy's hair.

"Where are you going?" she asked him after breakfast.

"To work," he said, "you can stay here and the maids will take care of you, just tell them what you need ".

She watched him go and started to tear up. Valke stopped at the door the moment he heard Amy cry out.

He turned rushing to her.

"Hi, why are you crying " he frowned.
