Lux sat there silently staring down the shrink, as if daring him to push the issue. She didn't like to talk about Russ, he was her secret agenda that no one needed to know about. and that was the way she liked it. She understood it made her look like a control freak, but she didn't care. She was doing what she needed to do. No one really knew about Russ; not her foster siblings in this house, or the multiple previous ones. Russ was hers. Hers to protect. To find. And no one was going to take that away from her. Russ was a secret she didn't like to share, least of all to some shrink she met minutes ago. She had to backtrack. Dr. Miller already knew too much about her.
