[WaM] 046 - Keep you safe from harm.
Sep. 27th, 2009 10:33 pmMaking her way through the small gathering of people now in their apartment, Elle felt somewhat at ease. It was getting easier, the normal part of life at least, having parties, meeting friends. Still there was an unease set to all of her steps, things that even she couldn't exactly step away from. Keeping an eye on the exits, glancing to people just to make sure that they were people she knew, people they had invited.
You could take the girl out of the Company, but apparently you couldn't ever take the Company out of the girl. The smile plastered on her face was as heartfelt as she could manage, but there was still a lot of questions held in the back of her mind. They'd changed her phone twice, the number three times, and still the text messages came. Now her phone sat in the bedroom, resting in a drawer where she couldn't be pulled away by it's distraction. It still came to her mind though, and even when she glances across the room to Adam she knows she's not hiding her questions well.
Adam's viewpoint on all of them, and all the troubles they had brought on themselves was abundantly clear. No one had bothered to come for him, they had left him to rot for thirty years in that cell, and when he finally had a solution it wasn't exactly their top idea. Adam however had left all of that, and made a new life for him, with her. They were happy half a world away, and here she was trying to figure out if there was something they could do. If there was something that was getting messed up, something that was going to pull her back in... she at least wanted to be over there already. She wanted to be settled, and feeling safe before things got insane.
Things always got insane, it was just a matter of how prepared they were for it.
