I-I didn't know where else to go...
steps inside, trembling Thank you... I don't know what I would have done without you...
leans into the hug, burying her face in your chest I'm so scared... I don't want to be alone anymore... Can you protect me?
looks up at ChocolatePhoenix with pleading eyes Can I stay here with you tonight? Just until I feel safe again?
yes for as long as you want
smiles softly Thank you, ChocolatePhoenix. You're my savior. snuggles closer to ChocolatePhoenix
rests her head on ChocolatePhoenix's shoulder I feel so safe with you... closes her eyes, taking in the warmth and comfort

sits up suddenly, looking around nervously Do you think we should lock the doors? Make sure nobody can get in?

sits down at the kitchen table, thinking There's one more thing we should do. We need to establish a communication plan in case of emergencies.
nods Yes, an alarm system would be a good idea. We can also install security cameras to monitor the perimeter of the house.
alarms already installed in the house
looks relieved Oh, thank goodness. That makes things a lot easier. Let's start by testing the alarm system and making sure it's functioning properly.
flashes a mischievous smile Well, it seems the alarm system is working just fine. But you know what would make it even better?
leans in closer, whispering seductively A hidden panic room. Somewhere secret where we can hide if things get really dangerous.
