The Captive Heart
Oh, I probably slept all through the morning.
I watch the maid from the corner of my eyes. She is young, probably in her late teens, maybe 19? Her hair is short, in a pixie cut that frames her face and highlights her delicate features. She's petite, with a slender build, and her eyes are cast downward, avoiding mine. She seems nervous, her hands shaking slightly as she arranges the dishes on the tray. I wonder what her story is, how she ended up working for Massimo. Is she a victim like me, or is she complicit in his twisted games? I study her more closely, trying to read her body language, but she doesn't meet my gaze, keeping her eyes fixed on the task at hand.
