Stanley reached for the wardrobe door and opened it Inside he found Wendy
She was curled up in the corner of the wardrobe her small frame tucked in tightly Her long black hair fell in soft waves When the door opened her sleepy clear eyes still heavy with sleep snapped up at him like that of a startled deer
M
At that moment she looked so vulnerable almost like a secret lover hiding from the wife forcing her to flee from his bed and hide in his wardrobe so that she wouldn t get caught
Stanley furrowed his brow What are you doing hiding in here
Wendy had just woken up the sound of Jessica s voice outside startled her from her sleep When she opened her eyes she realized she was in his lounge in Stanley s bed She couldn t remember how she d ended up there the last things he remembered was falling asleep at the desk

She looked at Stanley and asked softly Has Jessica left
Stanleydidn’tanswer.
Wendy tilted her head back slightly her lips curving into a playful grin Is aw Jessica coming so I hid Mr Hawk don t you think I ma good girl
Stanley remained silent Good girl More like the opposite
Wendy then attempted to stand but after being cramped in the wardrobe for so long her legs had gone numb She tumbled forward collapsing on to the carpet
Stanley s large strong hand shot out just in time catching her slender armand steadying her

It wasn t that Wendy was afraid of Jessica she was afraid he d help Jessica
Wendy s clear dark eyes locked on to his handsome face as he asked with a serious tone If Jessica and I really did get into a fight one day who would you help
