".... What do you think you're doing?.."

Charm jumped and turned quickly dropping what she had in her hand. "I... umm... I....

"I asked you a question... why are you going through my things?.." Jago asked her again his face straight.

"I wanted to get to know you better...

"And you can't just ask me?." He said a slight frown now etched on his face,

Charm swallowed hard. "I know what it looks like.. but I really was just being nosy, you are such a mysterious man. I wanted to understand a bit more. I was hoping that I would find some photos of you when you were younger.... Things like that...

"Well you won't... I don't have anything from my childhood, because I grew up in care when I finally did get placed with a foster family they weren't the nicest people so they weren't going to take photos of me that's for sure...

"Well, I didn't meet the Taylor's... I worked with Gee... we were fighting together..." he paused. "Don't you trust me?.."

She sat back on the floor and she looked at him. "Honestly... I don't trust anyone... it is so hard in this life..."

She nodded. "I'm sorry...." She said and hugged into him more.
