Anthony had to focus on breathing slowly and steadily to keep the rush of adrenaline and excitement off his face as he slowly watched her from behind hooded eyes. He focused on keeping his body completely relaxed. His face an impassive mask. His breathing slow and steady. His hand gripped the glass of water with the faintest trace of tension. He watched with bated breath in silence. Watched the play of light on her hair and the way that her eyes moved as she read. The faint colour in her cheeks. Studying her like a hound studies a piece of meat or an artist his masterpiece. His eyes showed the only trace of the energy rushing through him. She would be his. They were so close. As he watched her sign the paper his heart beat quicker and his body tensed ever so slightly in reaction. He let a faint smile cross his lips as he spoke.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF80">"Congratulation miss Pratt, today begins your new life. Sheris will take you downstairs to meet Gerome and Liane. Gerome has already called a car for you it is waiting outside,"</span>he said softly. Looking at his watch to check the time as if confirming something before he continued. His voice remained soft, conversational,<span style="color: #80FF80">"Liane is finishing up with her performance so she should be changed and ready to go by the time you meet her downstairs. Liane and Gerome will take you shopping after they take you to your new apartment. You may go anywhere in the city Liane or Gerome know every location between them therefore they can be your guide. Take the day to enjoy, Liane knows what you will need for work tomorrow, make sure to get it today. I do not accept tardiness. You are to meet Liane here at oh-six-hundred sharp to start your training."</span><br/><br/>With those words spoken Anthony rose. He staggered slightly as he put weight on his leg and his knee throbbed with pain. He allowed the pain to cloud his face for a moment as his breathing grew ragged. He took a moment and composed himself. Sheris rose and took his elbow in her hand to make sure he didn't fall. When Anthony was steady on his feet once more he walked around the desk and too the door. He stopped next to her and held out his hand a charming smile curving his features.<span style="color: #80FF80">"I look forward to your debut miss Pratt,"</span>he said softly to her.
