BELLA
"Uh, what are you doing here?"
I was surprised to see Evo inside the house when I woke up. I could not have imagined that something so unexpected would happen. Unbeknownst to me, I fell asleep when we got to the house. I had yet to learn what had happened at the center. I woke up as the wispy threads of sleep let go of my tired mind. The time was late, and in the fuzzy space between sleep and waking, I thought Evo, our trusty driver, had left after getting us safely to our simple home. So, you can understand how surprised I was when I looked out the window and saw his familiar face.
He quickly got up from his chair and turned off the TV. As I got closer, his eyes were fixed on me, and he didn't move. He stood there, waiting for me with patience and eagerness.
"Yeah, I still hang out here at your house. Kaycee left because Sir Eduard called her."
"What are you still doing here?"
"I waited until you woke up. I want to make sure you're okay."
