Evelyn was struck speechless – for he had of course easily guessed her most immediate questions. Of course it was easy for him to guess what she was wondering. However, he didn’t ask her any questions – which left her wondering exactly what he knew. Therefore in the silence that followed, she moved to sit up. As she moved, she felt less weighed down and a bit more normal.

“Evelyn,” she gave her name in return.

Her gaze drifted to the rest of the room, taking in the décor – and any escape routes she could take. He seemed like he wasn’t a threat. But he sure didn’t seem like your average person. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed something upon his back, but in the shadows it was a bit too difficult to tell what it was.

In the silence, her stomach let out a growl of hungry. Embarrassment fluttered across her cheeks as she looked away. It was no surprise that she was hungry. How much energy had it taken to repair the damage done? And her stomach was sure empty after what happened. She rested her hand upon her stomach, as if that would silence it from speaking again. After all, she had questions to ask. 

“Thank you, for taking me in. But… why am I here? You don’t even know who I am – just a stranger. Wouldn’t it make sense to drop me off at a hospital or something?”
