Atticus smiled when Kitane knocked on the door, and asked if she could come in. He didn't respond because he was just going in his room to think, like he usually does, but this time, they were different from his normal thoughts. Her voice pulled him out of what he was thinking, and he stood up from the chair and walked over to the door and reached for the knob, hesitating. He didn't know why he hesitated, but he closed his eyes and regained his composure and opened the door and stood neck to her," Sorry to keep you waiting... Lets eat."
Something was off about him, and everyone could tell. but it looked like he wouldn't be telling anyone what was wrong any time soon.
