"Can I please stay…?" She pressed, head still low.
“No." He repeated. The reply was not harsh, but it wasn't soft either. It held authority and left no space for argument.
She quickly bent her head further, as if not looking at him would equal his absence. She would've given up as always… But she wanted him to agree. Wanted his permission. At least for once…
She tried again, in a soft and lowest voice possible, “Can’t I, have my own choice… Just this once?”
That made him pause, just for a while. His gaze fully lifted to her again. Her eyes were desperate and he felt it. She'd often give up at his first no, but her desperation caught his attention.
“Fine."
She lifted her head. "Really?”
This was something that happens once in a blue moon. Did he just say fine? Did he really agree?
“Yes. Tomorrow you're coming at 8. Not a minute longer than that..." He said as he relaxed his shoulders and dropped his voice. "You know what happens when I'm made to wait. Just Remember it."
The flicker of joy that had filled her expression vanished even before she felt it. “I won't be late... Thank you…!"
She walked past him, her shoulders finally loosened. She pretended to ignore the threat because a yes from him was heavier than that.
He stood watching her for a second longer than required, rethinking if he had made the right decision. He then shook his head and left.
She headed straight to her room, without glancing back. She knew he was watching her, one wrong move could cost her the stay. She slowly closed the door and finally relaxed. For a moment she stared at the phone, thinking whether to call or not… Her face reflected on the black screen.
Shaking her head, she finally dialed. Her face lit up with her screen light and the name ‘Kira’ on it.
“Hello Elena. What's up?"
“He agreed…" That's all she said. No greetings, no asking how she was, just what she actually wanted to say…
“Wow…did he actually say yes?”
“Yes he did…”
"Don't get too excited…! Your brother might notice his prisoner is missing…!" She laughed, a low mocking one.
She lowered her gaze, her grip tightening around the phone. She didn't reply.
“Be ready for tomorrow… I'll inform Dasha… Goodnight. I know you won't sleep due to the excitement that he allowed you, but sleep well…!”
The call ended but she didn't move. The phone stayed in her hand longer than necessary. A small breath slipped she didn't realise she was holding.
Elena had hung the phone. But she still felt her words replaying. Kira was her best friend. And what she said and the way it sounded did feel true…
The lights went off. The room fell quiet. Too quiet.
She turned to her side, pulling the blanket closer. Closed her eyes.
Eight.
Her eyes opened again. She shifted, staring at the ceiling now. The number stayed. Clear. Unmoving. She was finally doing something other than school…
He said yes.
She pressed her lips together. Turned to the other side. It still didn’t feel real. Like he might change it in the morning. Like he might forget he agreed. Her fingers tightened slightly over the edge of the blanket.
“There are extra study hours…” The words replayed. Softer this time.
But they didn’t sound the same anymore. She exhaled slowly.
Still, she heard it replay in her mind, for a second longer.
She then Then turned back. Pulled the blanket up to her chin.
Sleep didn’t come immediately. It lingered somewhere just out of reach— like the permission she had finally gotten.
