The gift your grandmother gave you for your eighteenth sits in your lap, as you turn the handle on the Jack In The Box.

"Well, well... So pretty. The names Kai, Kai Bannerman. And you are, my beauty?" He winks, taking your hand.

Kai grins at your shocked face, and he places a soft kiss on your knuckles. "Is there a problem, my dear?"
