[b]Ava awaited James in her bedroom, completely unaware of his turmoil downstairs.She was a bit worried herself at the moment, continually trying to find solid reasons for why everything in her life just seemed wrong at the moment. All she could think of was that her mother would know & that Ava would beg the woman to tell her until she finally gave in & fessed up.

Going to her wardrobe, Ave pulled out her coat & scarf before she tucked herself for the cold, & the horse ride. She was a bit nervous her father would get cross for her heading out instead of meeting the man he wanted her to be closer to, but really, the woman had no such interest in a man her father picked for her. Oddly enough, she found herself craving the attention of Andreios & his quiet care for her.

Blushing lightly, the woman went back to dressing before she sat on the bed. She had the impulse to sneak out again, but remembered that Andreios announced that if she wasn't careful he would be killed. Ava didn't see her father doing that, even if he was acting strange, but Andrieos was important to her; she would never put his life in danger, just in case.[/b]
