It's Complicated

The magnificent Alexander Mansion slowly came to view. The colossal iron gates rattled and swung open, allowing the car to pass inside before closing again. 

Alexandria was still asleep, her head still leaning on Lucas' shoulders. He sighed and gently eased her head and slowly shook her shoulders. 

"Wake up." Lucas Nicholas said. 

Roused from a peaceful slumber, her eyes finally opened. A hazy pair of soft amber eyes stared back at him. For a moment, he was shocked by the sudden unexplainable thud in his chest. 

He pushed the feeling as fast as it arrived. Furious that he even felt that way, a frown instantly scrunched his eyebrows. "We arrived." He said the words more harshly than he ever intended. 

Alexandria must have noticed his darkening expression that she stiffened, then stood upright. The last remnant of sleep fled from her system.
