Alessandro's study room
He sat at his table with study lamp being his only illumination.
Papers lie scattered around him and the clock stuck 2 at night.
He removed his specs from his nose, rubbed his eyes and placed his specs on the table.
Placing both his hands behind his head he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.

"C....h....eap?"
and he nodded with a smile trying

placed her down on the bed covering her with

"..but...the..--"
placed his finger on her lips...
speaking...close you eyes
"..no....I.... can't...the...y

while gripping the

and tightly clutched the front of
a second he joined her inside her quilt and held her tiny body safely in
he knew that right now she didn't needed safety from the outside world...she needed safety from inside. From herself
