Or did that start after the boy?” </span><br/><br/>Delgado’s question caught her off guard and she didn’t look up.<span style="color: #FF80FF">“I…I don’t know,”</span>she replied uncertainly. She felt like she had always been clean and organized, but his question caused her to reflect, wondering when she had become so obsessive. When she looked back up at him, she could tell he thought she was crazy and it stung.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“I’m not sure, if you wouldn’t have been better off at the station…I am dangerous Lea…” </span>She was surprised by his use of her first name, but not so much his confession. If she were being honest with herself, his imposing personality was kind of a turn on, but she was too frightened by him to ever enjoy it.<span style="color: #FF80FF"> “Well, regardless I couldn’t go to the station anyway…” </span>she replied, though she didn’t explain why.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF80FF">“Are you leaving?”</span>she finally asked after a few moments of silence,<span style="color: #FF80FF">“Because if you aren’t, I’d appreciate if you’d take your shoes off. I don’t like shoes on in the apartment.”</span>It was at that point a meow was heard from a room in the back, her room. A grey and beige spotted cat came out, it’s fur ridiculously fluffy and clearly well taken care of. The cat came up to her excitedly, rubbing against her legs and she gave a small smile, bending down to scoop the purring feline into her arms.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF80FF">“Aww…did you miss me Mimi?”</span>she asked rubbing her nose against the cat’s, who seemed to reciprocate the action happily. It was as if Lea forgot about all her troubles and Carlos when the cat arrived. She loved the cat dearly, as she had owned her for twelve years now. She adored the cat immensely and the cat seemed to love her just as much.<br/><br/>She was smiling a little when she finally remembered Delgado and she turned to him,<span style="color: #FF80FF">“So?” </span>
