Rory was back in her room. She didn't know how to feel after the conversation she had with Mr. Dangerous Man. He told her to call him by his name.
Derek.
How was she supposed to? And why would he want her to call him by his name? She had never heard anyone call his name before. They all called him boss. She called him sir. And now she was supposed to say Derek? That would be tough.
A knock interrupted her, and she nearly jumped out of her skin. Who was there? Wait, why was she suddenly scared?
She went to the door and opened it. When she saw Esther, she sighed and placed her hand on her chest.
"Hey." Esther said in a hushed tone and looked around. "How are you? I was so scared when you weren't coming back." She maintained her hush voice.
"I'm fine. Why are you whispering?" Rory said in a normal tone and smiled at Esther.
"He's... not here?"
Rory looked around. "Who?" She turned back to her.
