Stay calm when one of her guards came back. Her heart was pounding alternately in her throat and her gut.

Stay calm! She somehow managed not to scream as her guard slipped his hand into his pocket. Was the pocket big enough to hide a weapon?

"Congratulations. You are employee of the month!" Her other guard came through the door, carrying a big bottle of wine.

Smile! You have to smile! "Thank you! That's an unexpected honor."

"Avery wanted to express his thanks personally, but he is tied up in an important conversation. He is very sorry, but we have to take you back immediately." It was hard not to flinch when he pulled the car keys out of his pocket.

Everything is okay, everything is okay, everything is okay … finally they reached her home. Finally she could close the door of her home behind her.

Everything is okay, everything is okay. Sobbing she sank to the floor.
