I sit up and watch him leave, completely aware of the tension I just created. [i]Oops[/i]… I think to myself, but I’m utterly terrified and also excited for this dinner to end. Giving it some time first, I traipse out of his bedroom towards where his office is so I can grab the books I had previously been reading and bring them up to his room, setting them on the couch for when I was ready to dive in again. For some reason, I feel too distracted to read them right now. Caden’s last words to me before leaving play in my head and I bite my lip to keep from grinning. My prank had probably worked a little too well…

Our conversation comes to an end as we pull into the driveway of a pretty magnificent mansion. [i]Definitely stupid rich.[/i] I think to myself, recalling Cassiopeia’s words. After checking with the driver, I leave the macadamia liquor and Cass’ rum in the car with my backpack, but grab the wines and my notebook to take inside. With a quick word of gratitude to the driver, I jog a little to meet with Caden and Cass at the front door. I’m trying not to look like a complete dweeb in front of them, but my eyes are as wide as saucers while I look around. 

[color=F0A06B] “Hi Caden.”[/color] I smile as I reach him before I offer the two wine bottles to him. [color=F0A06B] “Cassiopeia warned me that these might not pair with dinner, but I wanted to show my gratitude for helping me and my father.”[/color] My expression changes to something more serious as I give a little bow of my head to him, the tears welling up already. [color=F0A06B]“Thank you.”[/color]
