AriaI waited for Zachary the way I always did, most times I didn't even need to wait, I kept glancing at the clock over and over again.Time went by. The sun set and yet there was no sign of him. By evening, I couldn't sit still anymore, loneliness was killing me. I pushed aside the book I had intended to read, stood up, and started walking all around the mansion. I moved from one hallway to another, hoping I would turn to a corner and find him there.I kept away from two places.One, the room he and his wife shared, I had no reason to be there.Two, the maid quarters, he won't even near their door.Instead I listened to any sound that might lead me to him. Suddenly, I heard a sound, more of a cutlery making contact with a plate. My heart lifted a little. Maybe it was him. I headed that way, quickening my pace.When I stepped inside, disappointment hit me hard. Athena stood there, not Zachary. Of all the people in this house, she was second on the list of those I least wanted to see.
