Lyle pouted, "I hate cliffhangers." He sighed. Authors did this on purpose just so that could sell more books. It was annoying but he always bought the books anyway. "Of course we will. I want to know what happens." Lyle agreed and thought of the other books she had brought with her. "Well...how about the dark blue one with the dagger on the cover?" He asked. He was never good with names but a book cover design was something he never forgot.

Amalia just shook her head and continued to cry. In truth, she just wanted to go back home and pretend this had never happened. Troy was mad at her, it was obvious. The butler returned with some tea for her and a box of tissues. "Sir, perhaps she just need to sleep. You could always try to woo her later." The butler said with a smirk. Troy looked at him and blushed, quickly looking away. "I am not trying to woo anyone. But I think you're right, perhaps she does need to sleep. See to it that she has a comfortable room to sleep in. Excuse me." He said and walked out of there in a rush while the butler only chuckled and walked Amalia to the room where she would be staying in for the remainder of the storm.

"Where have you been? I was about to go looking for you myself." Kaneko's father wasn't too happy at how late his daughter was getting home and when he noticed the food, it only confused him more. "I was out for a walk. I went to get food. I ate, but I brought you some food back and even the cookie. I'll heat it up for you." She said but her father wasn't having it, saying that he didn't want her staying out so late again. It was taking all of her self control not to explode on him. She was never allowed to have any fun. He didn't want her to have a job. He didn't want her to have friends, he didn't want her out late. It seemed he didn't want her to have a life of her own and it was starting to get to Kaneko.

She remained silent and heated up the left over food foe him, serving it on some plates for him and setting them on the table with a glass of water. "Enjoy." She said simply and threw out the trash then left to take a shower and got dressed for bed. Tomorrow would be a better day. She hoped. Laying in bed that night after having washed the dishes, she heard her father snoring in his room and thought about today's events. A smile on her face. Maybe kissing Allen's cheek wasn't a good idea. What if it made him uncomfortable? Would he bring it up next time they talked? Would there be a next time? Kaneko pulled the warm blanket up to her chin and got comfortable in bed before closing her eyes and quickly falling to sleep.

If Eros weren't so polite, he would have spit out the food he was chewing when he heard where she had gone and what she had done. "You sketched out Aphrodite?" he asked her. That was impressive, he wondered if his mother would like it. She was so...well his mother was a nice lady but so...full of herself? His uncles and aunts have all boosted her ego by saying she was the most beautiful woman in all the world. Even Hades agreed and would drag anyone who didn't believe it, down to the underworld with him. "I'd love to see it. I'm sure it's lovely and who wouldn't like getting art?" He said with a chuckle, taking another few bites of the food.

Lyle nodded and waited for her to return and when she did he made sure that he was comfortable and smiled as he listened to her. "I believe so." He answered quietly. When she began to read, he relaxed further. He just enjoyed listening to her, she had such a soothing voice when she would read like this. He hoped that they would never just stop doing this no matter how old they got, it was something he would always look forward to. He even chuckled, hearing the different voices she tried for each character. She would make an excellent mother someday. He kissed her cheek and continued listening to her.

What was Amalia supposed to say to that? "I didn't plan on s-staying and I knew it was a stupid idea but I didn't think I w-would remember to bring them over tomorrow okay? I didn't think and I'm sorry, it won't happen again!" She had begun to cry and Troy looked surprised at her reaction. "Shall I get her some tissues sir?" A butler asked him, having come in to retrieve the empty cup that once had hot chocolate. "I didn't mean to make her cry." Troy said to the butler. "Well sir, I believe it. However, if I may say something. The woman is probably afraid already as it is. Stuck in a place she isn't familiar with and with the prince no less. I wouldn't be so hard on her sir." The butler explained before leaving to get some tissues. "I'm sorry, please don't cry. I'm not angry. I guess I'm just more worried than anything. I should be flattered that you would walk through a blizzard just to see me...but I'm more worried about you possibly getting sick because of this." Troy admitted softly.

When the ice was placed on Lyle's knee, it burned slightly but he didn't complain. He just sat comfortably and smiled at her. We can read one of the books you've brought with you. The one you were reading to me on the way here, we can continue that one." Lyle explained. He was just happy to be spending time with her. He wondered what Troy was doing but hoped he wouldn't get upset that they weren't spending time with him. It was just for today, Troy could manage.

Troy sighed hearing her, "I wouldn't say that." He had her sit back down and placed the blankets on her again. "We all do silly things when we're in a hurry to do something. We all sometimes forget to think things through. That doesn't make you a fool." Troy started and sat down across from her. "Thank-you for the tarts. I'm going to enjoy them later with some tea. I just wish you would have waited. You're lucky you didn't freeze to death on your way here." He told her just as a servant walked in informing him that her aunt had been notified. "Ah, well good then." Dismissing the servant, Troy looked at Amalia again. "You didn't tell your aunt about the trip you planned on doing? Didn't you realize there was a blizzard going on?" He asked her.

"It seems that we've all been pretty busy today." Eros admired how Sapphira always wanted to help people when she could even though it wasn't required. He wished more people were like her and they probably were, he just didn't notice them they way he did her. "Some sketches? What have you been sketching lately?" He asked, taking a bite of his food.

Once dinner was ready, Aphrodite put the heat on very low and smoothed out her dress then fixed her hair. She always had to look her best for her husband and for whoever else was watching. Her husband would be arriving soon, he would probably be tired. Hopefully hewasn't angry. He wasn't always the most patient with the mortals but he was trying which was what mattered.

Kaneko's heart skipped a beat once his thumb grazed across her cheek, she felt her face get warm and she knew she had to be blushing now. "I..I know Allen. I just..I worry is all. I would be very upset if you were to get hurt and I wasn't able to help prevent it." She said softly. She was worrying too much, he was perfectly capable of taking care of himself. He was not a child. "Good night to you as well Allen. I promise to be safe and I look forward to s-spending more time with you." She was fidgeting with her fingers now. A habit of hers she displayed when nervous. She turned to leave but stopped and walked to where he stood; quickly she kissed his cheek and walked away. A wide smile on her face and blush dusting her cheeks.

Lyle enjoyed the food and when they had finished, Lyle's parents and Troy's parents were in a deep conversation about who knows what. He finished his coffee, already feeling refreshed and followed Aria out of there. A place to read, someone comfortable. "Parlor room.." He said quietly. There was a lot of sitting space there. As long as he wasn't sitting on the floor he was a happy prince.

Troy took this time to really look at the box and smiled when he saw it was lemon tarts. "How much?" He asked her. He was sure his mother probably ordered them. Amalia shook her head. "I-it's of no cost your highness. I...I m-made them myself f-for you." She said quietly and after she felt warm enough, she got up off the chair and set the empty cup down on the coffee table. "I-I really need to go. S-sorry for bothering you, I won't do it again." She said and turned to leave but froze when he held her wrist. "You'll freeze to death out there. You must stay here until the storm passes." He instructed her, then released her wrist. It was the same girl who had a crush on him and he could guess why she made him the tarts. "Why didn't you just wait until tomorrow to hand these to me?" He asked her. Amalia fiddled with the lace cuffs on her sleeves and shrugged her shoulders, refusing to look at him. "I made a fool of myself haven't I?" She asked quietly.

Eros smiled, "Hello Sapphira." He said and followed her inside and towards the dining room where he took a seat and greeted her father. "Thank-you again for the invitation." He told the man. Eros looked at Sapphira when she mentioned his parents and nodded. "They're doing well, thanks for asking. My father wasn't home yet when I returned. He likes to stay late sometimes at work. I wished to speak with him but that can wait." Eros answered truthfully. He never understood why his father stayed late, but he guessed it was a good thing. Especially now if the rumors were actually true. Eros thanked her for the dinner, it looks and smelled wonderful. "How was your day?" He asked her, wanting to know what she had done while he and her father were at work.
