What is Going On?

"You're starting to freak me out." Ariana said in a high pitched voice. Gregory hung his head in shame. "My aunt and Zula... ummm... cough... They pointed out the problems in my plans." Gregory said pitifully. "Okay, sure but why the attitude change. You never liked me so I can't comprehend why you would hug me?" Ariana asked as she looked at the top of Gregory's head

"I was told how to properly ask for forgiveness from Zula. She did mention a kiss on the forehead but that was too much for me." Gregory explained as he raised his gaze. The two locked eyes and Ariana could see that he was telling the truth. "Honestly that would have been too much for me too. I would have been running out screaming from your room." Ariana said with an awkward laugh.
