Malrick noticed my change in expression and asked, “Disappointed? We can change places if you don’t…” I quickly shook my head, “No, it’s fine. I just find it…unexpected.” He said nothing more and merely led me in. The interior was just as simple as the exterior, minimalist and with a quiet elegance that was somehow comforting. The only thing peculiar was the dark decor, the chairs, paintings and everything were all in a dark tone
