Master checked Cherry’s work. “I like it. “
Cherry breathed a sigh of relief. “But don’t get so comfortable because I won’t always be easy on you, Cherry. You understand, don’t you?
“Ye- yes, Master, I do.”
“Very good. Why don’t you meet me in the kitchen?”
“Wh- why?”
“For breakfast, of course.”
“You- you want me to eat with you?”
“Of course, I do. I want to get to know you, Cherry,” Master said smoothly.
“But- why?’
“Because you’re going to be here for a while.”
“A while. H- how long is a while?”
“How about forever then?”
“Fo-forever? That’s a long time, Master,” Cherry knocked off her glass of milk.
“Relax,” Master whispered in her ear.
