"Fine."
She passes right by me, out of my sight as I ask her to.
I am momentarily frozen to my damn spot.
That smell.
That fucking smell.
It will definitely be the end of me.
My eyes close involuntarily as I clench my hands breathing in her leftover scent in the air.
What I would've given right now to have her closer to me...just a little bit closer than the barrier of the wall that is all those stairs, corridors and her room...I don't want anything more...I cannot afford to hope for anything more. Just a bit more closeness....
"Langdon."
Willy's sharp call brings me back to Earth. Right.
I take a deep breath before looking around at Willy. "What were you thinking? Going on to reveal shit to her?" I say getting inside the kitchen and shutting the door close behind, so no potential student of mine could eavesdrop. Although she is physically handicapped right now, still moving with her crutch I wouldn't put anything past that girl.
"Langdon have you seen her? I-I couldn't..." Willy shakes her head and looks away from me.
"Couldn't what Willy? Couldn't keep secrets? She comes and asks you for answers and you straight away-"
"Can't this be done any other way?" She interrupts quietly.
".....give- what?"
"Langdon, why can't this be done any other way? Without hurting any innocents like Ellora?"
I take a deep breath, clenching my hands into fists. "The only other way would've been to kidnap a man, who has been unable to leave his fucking bed for the past five years being diagnosed with cancer."
"Right. So what- we just kidnap his innocent daughter, who for the love of God was a toddler when it all happened-"
"Willy, you agreed to this." I say, my voice raised a tad bit. I know none of this is Willy's fault...heck I even agree to everything she says. But it's ten years too late to change plans.
"None of this is happening against your wish." I continue. "We have been doing this for the last ten goddamn years-heck half my fucking life. You cannot back out in the last minute on me Willy."
"I am not backing out, son." She sighs before walking up to me. She opens the clenched fingers of my right fist. Then brings my hand upto her bosom and holds it with both hers, as I stare at nowhere above her head with a clenched jaw.
"I will never back out on you. I promised J-Jacob," her voice breaks at my father's name, "that I will never, never let you alone. Ever. Wherever you are, I am. Whatever you do, I do. You murder, I murder-"
I finally sigh. "No one's murdering anyone Willy."
"That is beside the point. Son, Ellora is innocent. She has every right to protest the way she is right now. You plucked her from her life, from her studies, from her family, from her marraige, and placed her in this lonely, dark mansion-"
