Did I almost die? All these questions start to rise in my head when there was a knock at the door. Come in! I hear it crack open. Its me I have your clothes. Just put them on the counter. I hear the door open the rest of the way and then a pause before it shut again. I took a little longer then got out. I wrapped the towel around me then stepped in front of the mirror. I wiped it so I could see my reflection. My eyes were no longer doing that thing but I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw their new color. It was a bright gray blue. This was a change. Like how depending on Stark's mood the color of his eyes are. I looked at the clothes Stark had picked out for me. A pair of comfortable cotton shorts and some plain white T that wasn't mine. Once I put it on I knew it was his by the smell. The clothes were comfortable and if it was any other guy they would probably have picked out something slutty. Thats what I love about Stark.” [Jade](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/jade/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
