Yours to Hold
Franziska's hands are wrapped around the cold doorknob, and all she has to do is turn it and walk out the door without looking back.
It's so easy to do, she thinks, because her job here in this pathetic little apartment is done. She's twisted the words of another to her liking so that she can win the trial tomorrow, and she's formed lies too great for the defense attorney to unravel to figure out the horrifying and unnecessary truth.
But even though she's done this, there are words that she cannot alter, words that she cannot prevent from escaping her witness's lips.
Will you stay with me?
The words are quiet, hardly existent at all, but they sound so loud and desperate in her ears and her hand freezes, and she releases her grip on the doorknob and she tells herself that it's because it's so cold, so biting cold and she can't take it--
--and she knows that the real reason is because this is the first time that her perfection has put her in a place that she's unsure about.
Franziska thinks that she should run, run, run and pretend that nothing has happened, but she finds that she doesn't want to--because this is new and this is different and this is no pressure whatsoever, no chance to question if certain actions can be considered as sins.
And she drops her whip and moves away from the door with no regrets and she holds her--Adrian is her name Adrian is her name Adrian is her name so remember it always after this night--and she doesn't imagine that she's ever going (to want) to let go.
(And she thinks that maybe, just maybe, she can call this home tonight.)
