Quote: *I get always what I want, no bother if I destroy everything through this! *
@AnsgarVL_ "Ein kleines Suchbild fuer dich mein lieber Ansgar... Und nun rate mal welche Gesichtsverirrung - Oh verzeihung sag ich das wirklich? "
Welche Gesichtsverirrung meine ich? .."
*Mrs. von Lahnsteinโฆ Iโm sorry, but your ex-husband has filed for custodyโฆโ*
Tanja read the words as if numbed.
Written on a pathetic piece of paper. Not even the elegant stationery from her own company.
Insteadโฆ
Something inside her tightened.
She stared at the lines again.
Then โ a sharp, piercing scream tore from her lips.
Within seconds, the letter was ripped into a thousand pieces.
The fragments scattered across the floor.
She sank down, curling in on herself, rocking slightly.
Her eyes filled with tears โ
tears of rage, of fear.
Then her hand moved, frantic, reaching for her phone.
She wiped the tears away stubbornly, almost angrily.
Her fingers typed in a number.
A deep breath...
A manโs voice answered on the other end.
Not her ex-husband. Someone else.
โBenediktโฆ I need your help.โ
Her tone shifted โ controlled, businesslike.
โYou still owe me. I helped you, remember?โ
She left the message.
Then raised an eyebrow slightly.
Another notification. Her eyes widened.
*Kittyโฆ?*
How long had it been?
A soft smile appeared โ
a small light in the darkness.
Quickly, she typed a message. ๐ฑ
โOh, how wonderful. Time for a little private baby shower!โ
A playful pause.
โIโll gladly come โ as long as you donโt open the door in your pajamas.โ
She sent it.
Then her gaze fell back onto the chaos around her.
The torn letter. - The overturned chair.
Sometimesโฆ..
she didnโt have control over her emotions.
"And that kiss led toโฆโ
Her eyes widened again, a playful grin spreading across her face.
But then it faded.
Worry lines crept into her forehead.
She bit her lip.
โSometimesโฆ you have to let things goโฆ just to maybe find them again.โ
Her voice softened.
โThatโs how it is with love.โ
A small pause.
โSometimes youโre meant for each otherโฆ and sometimesโฆโ
She looked at her, searching.
โI know that thing with the phone โ he used to be like that with me too. But I was more strict. .โ
A faint, knowing expression crossed her face.
โAnd another thingโฆ he always left the door open.โ
Her gaze drifted for a moment.
โThere was no reason for him to close it anymore. Nothing left he needed to protect.โ
She looked back at her.
โDid he ever tell you that?โ
Tanjaโs lips twitched again โ
and the smile slowly returned.
โBut the two of youโฆ you found your way back.โ
Her tone warmed.
โAnd now he has a reason to close that door again.โ
She gestured lightly toward Kittyโs belly.
โThat reasonโฆ is you.โ
A softer smile.
โโฆand the little one.โ
Tanja shrugged lightly.
โWellโฆ at first, I didnโt think they were related either.โ
A faint smirk.
โTheyโre so completely different.โ
She tilted her head, her tone sharpening slightly.
โOne of them is a complete bastard โ ruthless, selfish, always looking out for himself.โ
A brief pause.
โBut then againโฆ I suppose Iโm not all that different.โ
Her lips curved faintly.
โAnd the other one? The exact opposite.โ
Her gaze softened for just a moment.
โCaring. Devoted to his family. Always trying to do the right thing.โ
A quiet breath.
โHe even managed to tame me for a while.โ
Her voice lowered.
โHe didnโt just see the witch in meโฆ he saw the person behind it.โ
She let out a small, frustrated sigh.
โOur family is strange anywayโฆ but then againโโ
She stopped herself, frowning slightly.
Her eyes returned to Kitty.
โI just hope... Gibbs,.. he knows what he has in you.โ
A beat.
โEspecially nowโฆ when you need him more than ever.โ
Her tone grew colder.
โAnd instead, heโs off taking care of his job.โ
Another pause.
โA job where people donโt always come back.โ her tone became deeper.
She bit her lip, just briefly.
Then she inhaled deeply.
โI hope he made sure youโre well taken care of. If something happens..
"
Tanja raised an eyebrow, her mind clearly at work.
She had studied people long enough to know what they were thinking.
Kitty was tough. Strong. - And definitely no naรฏve little Mary Sue.
Tanjaโs smile widened the moment Kitty mentioned she was open to new music.
โOh, really?โ
A teasing pause.
โBut I should warn youโฆ Iโll gladly accept your offer โ but once you do, it becomes a contract.โ
Her large eyes fixed on Kitty again, unblinking.
โThereโs no escaping after that.โ
Then she tossed her head back with playful confidence.
โI have quite the record collection.โ
A subtle smirk.
โHow about this? I invite you to our littleโฆ modest estate and introduce you to it.โ
Her tone turned delightfully theatrical.
โAnd of course, our staff prepares excellent food.โ
A knowing gesture followed.
โExquisite, I assure you.โ
