27 A Lie To Live By 2.

I looked out the window to the Romanesque building opposite, it's Windows were arched and it stood 14 feet tall which is considered rather short in L.A. It didn't match up to the size of my stately how even and the sky above was dinner, the rooftop grotesque with the sculpture of a wild stallion roaring at the sky upfront. The house gave me negative vibes as we got out, and I thought it best to let Anders know. "Why are we here," I ask, flanked beside him. He wrapped an arm around my neck and pushed the creaking gate backwards. The atmosphere within the compound became more terse and uncomfortable and it's sad to note that the presence of Anders offered no consolation. He tightened his hold. "Don't be afraid, I'm right here,"

We reached the door now, flagging him down, I say breathlessly. "I can't go to Anders. Please don't make me" I gushed.

Talk about crybabies.
