Beautiful Paradox

Chapter Nine

There was a sudden knock at the door interrupting their conversation.
Will looks confused, and turns to Hannibal "I never get visitors"
he says with his eyebrows turned down in confusion.
Nevertheless he goes and opens the door, standing there is no other than Dr. Alana Bloom.
"Hello Will"
she greets simply. Will stands in the doorway mouth agape, he's wearing yesterday's clothes and looks in no shape to see another human, besides Hannibal.
"Hello?"
He asked confused
"What are you doing here?"
It comes out harsher than intended as she looks slightly hurt.
"Nothing, I just thought to check on you since you hadn't showed up to work. I was just concerned that's it all"
She sees movement behind Will and questions
"Someone over?"
Will thinks to himself sarcastically
oh yeah no just my therapist! We made out and it was really great!
Instead he says
"Nah just me and my dogs"
he puts on a charming smile and says "Sadly I must get going, Zoe needs her medicine. So I'll uh see you at work Alana" He has a pretty obviously false tone but he doesn't really give a damn as he waves goodbye and shuts the door.
Knowing that he is grateful Hannibal parked in the garage. Turning back to the man at the kitchen table who has a look of pure amusement on his face.
"Something funny Dr. Lecter?"
Will says with a smile.
"Nothing at all Dear Will"
Will looks at him pointedly
"Dear Will? That's new"
Hannibal hums in agreement, and turns back to his food.
Will shakes his head and gives a little chuckle and mutters
"No way this is my life now"
