She looked scared, looking down and playing with her fingers. I watched her from a distance. She had tears in her eyes. It aches me to see her like this. She's very innocent, she doesn't deserve any of this.
I went to her and knelt down to her eye level. I held her hands and squeezed them slightly. " Melanie I understand how you must be feeling at this moment. terrified and frustrated. Please don't be scared I'm here now. I will keep you safe as long as I can". I said and kissed her hand. She nodded and wiped her tears.
"I'm sorry, I was just not expecting any of that. I had no idea how risky our lives would be. I came to understand how many threats there are to people like us in this world when it actually happened today. Every turn comes with peril". The hopelessness on her expression was evident in what she said.
But something in her statement reminded me to ask her what she was doing there so late. And who were they exactly. But I decided not to question her until I make her feel less sad. I started thinking of ways to bring a smile on her face. I asked her to wait for me in my room and she went inside my room.
I quickly went to my kitchen. I knew exactly what will bring smile on her face. I started preparing the dough. I sifted the dry ingredients in a bowl like the flour, baking powder and salt. And then with a sharp blade I cut out a few circles from the dough. I set the circles in a tray and put them into the oven. It took ten minutes to bake and then I quickly decorated the biscuits with hershey's chocolate.
I put the biscuits in a plate and went inside my room. She was sitting on my bed admiring the paintings above. I placed the tray infront of her on the bed. She glanced down at the plate and then smiled at me. It worked.

"I know I'm not the best cook_", "I love it. They look delicious". My words were cut off. I smiled that she liked what I did for her. She took one cookie, brought it closer to her mouth and took a bite. I bit my lips in nervousness.
She didn't have to tell me, I knew she liked them by her expressions. I sat down beside her, so close that I felt her heat. "Melanie what were you doing there so late?". I asked out of curiosity. She looked at me and then answered. "I was hungry and I couldn't find something nice to eat in my kitchen. So I decided to grab something from a nearby resturaunt".
"That wasn't nearby.. how did you get there?". I asked and she went silent. After a few seconds she finally replied. "I guess I wasn't focusing on where I was going". She replied taking another bite of the cookie. "Let me order you something". I said as I stood up to get my phone.
"No, it's okay Noah, really". She said but I wasn't gonna listen to her. I know she's still hungry and how can I not do anything for her. "I'm ordering. Just tell me what do you want". I asked and she just looked down. "Pizza? burger? chinese?..", I started spilling out the options. She chuckled before choosing chinese.
