Finally, the top

"So this is your new place…" Fay whispered, failing to shake her amazement. 

Today was a day full of surprises for her. 

From her first ride in a nice car, or rather any car at all, through visiting places far nicer-looking than the rundown shed we lived up until now, all the way to step through the reception of the massive housing unit project… And to the moment right now, when we stepped inside the house that Makary organized. 

Fay was already amazed by the architecture of the buildings located near the edge of the territory controlled by Makary, already outside of the bounds of the officially unrecognized parts of the town. And yet, when we left the elevator and stepped directly into the main hall of the penthouse… 

The meter of her shock shot through the roof. 

"It is not my place," I spoke out, reaching out and grabbing Fay's waist before pulling her slightly to my side. "It's our place," I corrected her.
