Struggling sent me to sleep in an instant. It was like my body was trying to protect itself from me.
I woke up when Haleem was standing and Melanie had moved to stand behind her.
A man was standing in the room, he was so tall his head was almost touching the ceiling and I was not exaggerating his height.
His hands and feet were large like that of a bear. He spoke and I swear the room shook and vibrated in a very low tone.
His voice almost sent me to sleep once more.
“Speak up, I have more important matters to attend to.” he told his daughter.
He spoke to her as if she was someone he did not recognize.
“Can you at least have a seat?” Haleem said, her voice trembling a little.
“You have two minutes. I don't want to be late for the meeting at the Valois mansion.” he said again
