Anthony was not in his office, which left me with too many places to search for him. I hadn't been around the house and didn't know my way around it, but I remembered the way to his room.
The door was unlocked, to my surprise. I knew that it was probable that he wasn't there. So, I pushed the door slightly open and called out to him. I waited for a few seconds before I called out again.
There was still no answer.
I sighed in frustration and ran my hands through my hair roughly. It was then I heard the sound of running water. I figured that he was taking a shower and wandered out of the room. I heard the door open from inside his room and walked faster. Then I heard his voice.
I flinched, considerably. I didn't want to do this. Not now, not ever. I planted myself firmly where I was but didn't dare to look back.
The door slowly creaked open. I heard the padding of his feet coming from behind me.
