It took Jorel a while to come back.

After a few hours of reading I got bored, so I grabbed one of the notepads that were lying around here and started drawing.

I was so absorbed in my drawing that I didn't notice him coming back.

It was only when he started to speak that I noticed him standing behind me and taking a closer look at my drawing of him.

»You seem to have a very strong memory. I think I have never seen such a detailed drawing of me.« He said, slightly impressed.

I flinched, startled, and turned to him.

»Thanks?« I replied, blushing.

»But maybe we should get you better utensils than a notepad and a pen.« He said, thoughtfully.

I looked at him in surprise.

»Oh, that's really not - «

»Danny will be over tomorrow anyways. He will help you choose a few things that are suitable for girls your age.« He interrupted me.

I looked at him confused. »Okay?«

Suddenly he grabbed my left hand.

"As promised." He said and put a silver ring on my ring finger.

The ring was silver, simple and thin.

A accordingly Lapis Lazuli, a blue shimmering gemstone, was placed in the center of the ring.

It was beautiful.

»Wow. It's beautiful. Thank you, Jay.«

I got up to hug him, which he replied.

»Now you're completely ready for a new life.«

The next morning came quickly.

As Jorel told me Danny was here to pick me up.

»We're both going shopping today!« He almost solemnly proclaimed.

»You have the list I send you?« Jorel asked him, who stand behind me.

Danny nodded.

Jorel got me some new clothes for my trip with Danny.

Because my old ones were more or less destroyed in the attack on me.

That's probably why he also knew my pants and top sizes.

In any case, he got me a pair of black jeans and a sweatshirt.

»I gave Imogen my credit card. Don't do anything stupid and don't bring her back too late. I don't want anyone to recognize her.«

Danny saluted.

»Alright, boss. We'll be gone then.«

Danny grabbed my hand and literally dragged me out of the house.

»Just take care of her! I'm serious! Don't fuck it up!« Jorel called after us.

It took some time until we had everything that was on the list.
