She was quiet since we left the hideout. I noticed her holding the tip of her hands and kept looking out through the glass window, trying to avoid my gaze. The tension inside the car was icy and awkward. I felt sweat dripping from my forehead and I was nervous to even talk about...that kiss.

Mary was dressed in a flowery gown with her apron over it, and she also wore oven mitts as she carried the hot tray of lasagna to the table. While my father sat down next to us with a huge grin on his face. Those were the last memories I had with all of us together as a family sitting down. I snapped back and quickly sat on the dining chair, Arin also rushed to the dining table and hurriedly sat down. Mary shook her head with a cheeky smile. “ I made your favorite today Rainora.” She gently dropped the tray on the table, it still had the hot steam fuming out of it. I grabbed the serving knife quickly as Arin also stretched his hands to pick it up too. I grinned as I held it with victory while he

I finally came out of my bedroom to meet the gaze of both Arin and Thomas Green. Arin gasped in shock, while Thomas froze up with glanced at me intently. My cheeks flustered while I adjusted my dress. Arin grinned while sensing the awkwardness in the room.“ You look more girly, Rainora-” I shot a glare at him. “I always look this way…you dork.” I snapped back.Thomas cleared his throat while regaining his composure. “ I think what Arin’s trying to say is you look radiant Miss Rainora.” I met his gaze with a gracious smile. “ Thank you Thomas, you don’t look bad yourself.” His cheeks turned red blushing as he nodded in approval.Moments later, Mary came out and met us in the living room.
