Aiwass had to admit that he'd underestimated "Lulu" a little.
...His temporary teammate wasn't as bad as he'd thought.
After taking a brief breath, "Annie Alexander" by the window let out a sound as ethereal as crystal.
It was still morning, and the sun had just risen.
But her singing immediately made Aiwass think of a summer evening's breeze passing through the window, gently brushing the wind chimes. His heart was filled with carefree bliss, and the anxiety that had yet to surface was firmly soothed.
It was like splashing clear water on a bonfire to douse the flames.
Aiwass slowly closed his eyes, gradually relaxing his mind...
"—Okay, Mr. Fox."
Lulu's voice came through, snapping Aiwass, who had kept his guard up by the door and listening to the movement outside, back to alertness as he instantly opened his eyes.
"Hmm. Good job."
"No problem; it was easy. Even if we have to run with him in our arms, he won't wake up for the next two hours."
