James walked into Mina's apartment fully aware that they were being watched. Not that he cared for himself, but he wondered how Mina must have felt knowing that her privacy was limited to her bedroom and changing areas. He had two older sisters and after living with them for the first fifteen years of his life, he learned that most women valued their privacy.
James walked around the spacious apartment and surveyed the environment, while Mina got busy in the kitchen. He thought he would find typical girly items, like picture frames and stuffed animals, but there was nothing that gave Mina's apartment the feeling of home.
"Mina, why don't you have any pictures up?" James asked, as he entered the kitchen. There was no real wall separating the sitting room, dinette, or kitchen from one another, so he could see Mina the entire time he wandered around.
