She rises in the early evening, looking at her bed, Belle still sleeping quietly. She smiled at her, running fingers softly through her hair. Belle rolls over slowly, still asleep.

Diam gets dressed, hands running over her body as she dresses, admiring her self, every little touch visually pleasing. She finishes her outfit off with fingers twisting her hair up into a knot of curls. Her make-up is applied carefully and slowly.

She waits for Belle to rise. Until then she wonders around her haven slowly, tidying things.

Having waited long enough for sleepy head she decides to run out for fresh flowers.

She walked out of her haven cautiously, slowly down the street, then around the corner. She knocked on the door of the closed flower shop. The door opened slowly, through the lock she saw two very white eyes, with red pupils.

The eyes had a voice, and it spoke:

"What do you want?"
"The usual, if you please."
"Yes... hold on a moment."

The door opened to reveal a man with calloused hands and sunglasses. He looked quite anxious to get her away.

He handed her 2 dozen red roses and 3 dozen dyed black roses.

He spoke again.

"They are on the house tonight Miss Diam."
"I would like something else tonight..."
"Yes?"

He spoke hurridly, almost like he was very
much wanting to leave.

"I would like a dozen white roses."
"Just one moment..."

He came back with another box.

"There you are Miss Diam..."
"Thank you Titus."
"Anytime Miss Diam, have a good night."
"Don't worry... I will darlin'..."

He closed the door hard, she heard all the locks click into place. Now she was curious.
