Assar caught her on the way down to the lobby. As the elevator door pinged and slid open she clenched her teeth, seeing him standing there, a faintly challenging look on his face.

“Going somewhere?”

Feigning nonchalance, Liana shrugged. “Just to the lobby for a coffee.”

“Is room service broken?”

“No, but apparently I’m either a prisoner or a moron if I can’t get a cup of coffee without a big bad Fae to hold it for me.” She smiled brightly. “How many Fae does it take to get Liana a cup of coffee?”

He stepped aside after a moment.

“Alone, Assar. Can I go just this one place alone, by myself, like my life is still my own?”

He studied her face, perhaps seeing her valiant attempt at calm beginning to crack.

“Alright, Lia,” he replied softly. “I’ll wait for you upstairs.” He paused. “Don’t talk to strangers.”

She was about to snap at him when his tone sank in. She searched his face; for what, she didn’t know. But the completely serious neutrality of the command…

Accepting her coffee, she looked around with deliberate casualness, picking out any familiar Fae faces in the few people who lingered around at this time. Early evening, most people would be making plans for dinner or wrapping up business to engage in a meal later in the evening.

Liana slid from the stool and walked across the lobby to the revolving doors, wondering why she had placed some type of cage on her mind that she thought she couldn’t just walk out any time she chose. Of course, she had nothing with her.

Walking toward the closest bus stop, her mind began to race. No, she didn’t have anything with her. But what was to stop her from withdrawing a chunk of cash from an ATM? Granted, it would be hard to find one that actually worked- who used cash anymore? And the curiousness of a woman carrying actual paper money would stick in people's minds, but paper was still the best way to go if one wanted to be untraceable. She could get on a bus and head to one of the cash crop states where they were always hiring farm hands, paying in cash. Some of them even had barracks for the labor. Maybe she’d
