Hannibal stepped out of the room and saw Luna just as she turned on the light switch.
He wondered, what does she need the light for? Then he realized "Silhouettes".
It was almost midnight and she was headed for the kitchen.
How can someone be into food this much? He wondered, then a thought…
The sudden freedom she was subjected to after her father's demise.
She didn't even know how to tie her own hair properly.
He remembers noticing Julia (the now dead nurse) doing that for her during their first session.
He can only imagine how fascinated she must have been about everything.
Julia, accomplished a connection with her in less than a week of being together.
It has been one of the constant riddles in his mind.
Well, It's his turn now, if only he can stay here every day.
Hmm… he purred… A blank slate…
Then again he killed her father; the idea of Luna trusting him right away was far fetch.
He's pretty sure he'll get there.
Out of curiosity. He decided to follow her.
Luna was hungry, she didn't have Julia to do taste tests with anymore.
She remembered the cakes they experimented with, the variety of pancake flavors Julia made her try.
Then she thought of the white cane that she obviously forgot to use again... If Julia was here, she'd be really annoyed.
The thoughts started to make her sad. She shook her head trying to rid of the feeling.
Luna's back straightened at the awareness that someone was watching her, "Doctor?" she asked.
"Yes…" Hannibal answered, Luna's wary returned to calm.
Luna started walking towards the cupboard with her hand tracing the kitchen table's edge.
Searching for something, Cookies and Milk! her mind excitedly yelled. It was the easiest thing she can fix on her own.
"Are you staying doctor?" She asked, "Yes, I'm thinking turkey sandwich and a glass of milk"
At least they were on the same page with milk she thought.
She opened the refrigerator grabbed the milk carton, and placed it on the table.
Then she opened one cabinet and took out 2 glasses, holding both to her chest she says "Doctor would you like cookies instead?"
Hannibal chuckled.
She turned to face him, intent at seeing what he looked like laughing, hoping against hope she could.
She realized it was sarcasm in his tone, "I don't think it's wise for me to use a knife" she points out.
Hearing her almost offended tone, "My apologies Luna…" She did not react.
Hannibal continued... "To make up for it, if you are willing to wait; I would like to prepare our midnight meal"
Luna remained quiet, she was already hungry and she already had her mind set on Cookies.
"Can we do that next time? can cookies suffice for tonight?" she asked.
Hannibal surrendered, "Okay my lady, can we at least warm the milk?" he asked jokingly as he took the bag of cookies from the stock shelf.
"Of course" she answered smiling.
Luna was scheduled to see Dr. Bloom before noon.
She was rummaging through her bags, trying to find something to wear.
Running around the room trying to memorize every corner, in case she stays longer this time.
She heard the gates open while she was attempting to untangle her shower hair.
Her father always said her brown hair must be kept long with the curls neat, "it enhances your beauty" his exact words.
She hoped it was that easy.
She could hear voices in the house, it's Dr. Bloom, she smiled, finally she's going to be in the company of another Lady.
The long drive felt short.
Dr. Bloom talked a lot and she was very pleasant.
She was scheduled for an evaluation and some tests.
She should be scared but oddly she felt safe.
Her doctor was like sunshine.
"I'm driving by the crime scene that Will is profiling right now to check on him, should i drop you home first or would you like to go with me?" Alana asked.
"I'd love to go" Luna replied.
"You'll have to stay with me at all times, agree?" Alana emphasized
"Can i stay in the car? agree?" Luna was being adorable
Alana giggled, "Okay agree"
Will was sitting on the steps of a cottage, his turn was done.
The vivid pictures were still in his head, he's getting more in control now, unlike before.
He was listening to the sound of water, there was a lake conveniently located behind the cottage... the actual crime scene.
Luna stayed in the car with the windows down.
She was dying for fresh air.
The Sunlight directly hitting her face. It felt nice.
She can hear Dr. Blooms footsteps, she's coming towards her.
The doctor's heart beat was fast; the happy kind of fast.
The car door opened.
"Just another lovely day at work doctor?" Luna quipped...
"Oh she speaks" Will said jokingly while collecting something from the driver seat.
she was stunned for a moment, how can she not feel him coming? that was a first.
"We're dropping will off, then i'll take you back" Dr. Bloom said.
engrossed in her own thoughts, she remained quiet.
