Not everyone knew how to start, though. There were so many uncertain things to consider.

Cassandra drew a deep breath and stood in front of a gate. Like many others, she, too, had so many uncertainties at the moment. And with each breath, she felt fear gnawing at her. Still, regardless of the uncertainties, her willingness to start overpowered all.
"Hello," Cassandra perked up when the guard walked out since she had been standing outside. "My name's Cassandra Smith. I'm…"
She trailed off, biting her tongue as fear and shame bubbled in her heart.
"Miss, what?" The bodyguard raised his brows. "What do you need here?"
Cassandra swallowed the lump forming in her throat and clenched her hands into tight fists. She forced a smile.
"Is Nina inside?" she asked. "Can you please tell her that we can talk? I know it's late, but… please?"
The guard eyed her up and down, unsure about this. But seeing the desperate look in her eyes, he sighed.
