Emily blinked and froze. She cleared her throat afterwards. 
"Um....thank you."
She looked at her brother. Eric had frozen for a moment as well. He was now also clearing his own throat before speaking. 


-"Um, yes. Thank you."
He and Emily entered the house and the door closed behind them. He sighed at the mention of them not being at the bakery for a while, while Emily nodded at the mention of pastries and such. 

-"Well....let's just say we had a personal reason for that."



Emily sighed and nodded. 
"What my brother has said. We apologize as well."


Eric nodded in agreement with that last part. He and Emily had been trying to keep it a secret from her for sometime, at least until after they found the queen and broke the curse. They did not want her to worry about them.
