The Secret Writer: 'The Black Friar' by S.G. Damian Seeker, Captain of Cromwell's Guard, is all too aware of the danger facing Cromwell.

Alex:
Though in the end she didn t come with me, she sounded really serious when she said she wanted to head into the same direction as me, just that I didn t say anything.

Alex:
But it s really rare that she d voluntarily go on the same direction as me bcs she probably felt that it d be awkward with only two of us around.

Alex:
We dint exactly live in the same street but it was still the same direction anyway.

Alex:
Also, when we were heading for home, she actually suggested taking the same route as me but I didn t respond.

Alex:
Also, whenever we talked, she felt really bubbly, and seemingly really happy, but on that part idk if i overthinked.
(12 August 2016)

Alex:
She didn t smile back or anything, but looked like she was thinking.

Alex:
After that I started to talk to her, teased her, and she became a whole lot more comfortable :) At times, she d stare at me for super damn long even when I notice her staring and looked back at her.
