There.

I'd said it out loud.

That wasn't so bad.

I felt the hysterics threatening to erupt from me again.

Just as my chest hitched and I sucked in a sniffle, his arms came around me, scooping me up bridal style.

"Bathroom?"

I pointed down the hall and dropped my head against his shoulder.

No words were said as he first found the marble and polished brass monstrosity.

He stiffened and I felt his horror at the ridiculousness of the room.

I shook my head and in a whisper, directed him to the small bathroom off the servant's quarters that sat unused.

I needed to escape the luxury.

I didn't want a single thing to do with it.

I just wanted the man that was holding me in his arms, not letting me fall.
