Janet nodded emphatically.
“Of course, Miss Moore. Let’s go upstairs right away.”
From the second floor, strains of sorrowful violin music filled the air.
Reaching the upstairs room, Janet knocked gently and greeted, “Rocco.”
Abruptly, the violin ceased, and the sound of something breaking emanated from within. Janet looked flustered.
“It seems Rocco prefers not to be disturbed, so, Miss Moore…”
Ignoring the warning, Hannah clenched the doorknob and pushed her way into the room.
“Oh my God! Miss Moore!”
Rocco’s icy eyes met Hannah’s, showing a flicker of emotion, yet his tone remained frosty.
“Did you come to check if I’m still breathing?”
Janet opened her mouth and tried to speak up for Hannah.
““Rocco—”
Crash!
Rocco had smashed the cup and books to the floor.
“She doesn’t have to bother with me anymore!” he exploded.
“Send her away! I don’t want to see her!”
“Miss Moore,” Janet said frantically.

“It would be best if you head home for today. Rocco is a little unstable, you should return another day…”
“You can go ahead and get back to what you’re doing,” Hannah replied kindly.
“I’d like to have a word with Rocco in private.”
“But…” Janet began to protest, but eventually relented when she saw the determined set to Hannah’s eyes. She quietly walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
Hannah swept a glance over the mess scattered all over the floor and sighed. She crouched and began to pick up the pieces of shattered glass.
“I know that I’m the last person you want to see right now,” she said as she set the books back on the desk.
“Believe me, I’m not trying to upset you on purpose.”
