Lost Time Continued - Gilded Cage

She takes the hug, leaning into him, "Do you understand now." with a soft chuckle "I had the comforter drycleaned and professionally cleaned."

"Ok ask one more question and I will answer. Then I am going to play my piano here till dawn." looking up at him.

"Yes" he nodded

"I'll undo that if you give me the chance Greer. I think I can do it. Or at least build you back up. But whatever you like. I've no more questions for you, I'll leave you to your piano tonight."

She looked at him sadly "Sam it's how I've always been, you are just seeing it now, so it must not be that much of a weakness. It also means I can get through many things that would destroy or fully crack others. It is not a weakness, but it means I am often a friend and confident for I do not let most close enough to know or figure out what I just told you."

Softly said but with a quiet confidence.

He stood up and kissed her on the forehead.

"Ok. You know me. Always worried, and always charging headlong into things. You gonna be ok tonight then?"

"You've oddly relayed many of the fears I had, and are you disappointed in me?"

He smiled again

"No, I'm not. Not in the least. I just want to make sure everything is ok in Greerland is all."

"As well as it's going to be at this time." with a polite nod and then a mischievous smirk as she goes to her piano and starts to play.

"Alright then" he smiled

"I'll leave you to your devices and see you later."

Quietly he exited the apartment so to not disturb her, even though he suspected she was already lost in her music.
