My father stood suddenly. “Alexander, I’d like to speak to you privately for a moment,” he said seriously.

I started to protest, but Alexander touched my hand softly. I looked at him questioningly, and he nodded slightly. Seeing that he felt comfortable going, I didn’t argue, though it made me uncomfortable.

I watched as Alexander stood and left the room with my father, leaving my mother and me alone. My mother turned and gripped my hand, her look of concern unmasked now that we were alone.

“Are you sure you’re all right?” she asked softly.

“Yes,” I replied. “Alexander took good care of me.”

I tried to smile, though I could feel it was strained. “I know… eventually we will,” I replied. “But I have a feeling it’s going to take a long time.”

My mother reached for her phone and unlocked it, then handed it to me. I glanced down to see she had pulled up a news website. An article had already been posted, filled with rumors about the incident at the hotel.
