Crystal stopped when she heard Icarus speak, tears welling in her eyes as she realized what she had just done. And to make matters worse, all this time she had thought about him in a partnership sort of way, not a romantic type of way. She pulled back, the tears she was holding back now flowing down her cheeks like the Egyptian River Nile during its flooding season. "Icarus...... I...... I had no idea that's what you meant....... I just thought that you meant that we would be together as master and doll for an eternity........ I should go." She said, standing up quickly and rushing into the semi-smoky house. She went up to her bedroom and slammed the door shut, flopping down on her as she cried even harder than before. Her body shook so much that her wooden bed began to rock back and forth quickly, making soft scuffing sounds downstairs. She had always secretly had a small crush on him, but she was so afraid of rejection...... And now she had screwed her chance up to the point of no return.
