Evening Date

Euphemia gasped then she screamed.

"DON'T LOOK!"

Lucien turned his head away but his cheeks and ears were still red.

"I apologize, Euphee. I . . . did not see anything," Lucien said probably just to spare her the embarrassment.

"Then why are your ears red?!" Euphemia asked while glaring at him.

"It is probably just the heat getting to me. I'll put down our food now, Euphee," Lucien said and placed down their food on the table.

Euphemia had already tied down the blanket around her to cover her chest while Lucien was looking away.

"It's fine now," Euphemia said.

Euphemia and Lucien began eating. Lucien was still looking guilty and really red at the same time.

"Luci, it's fine. I know it was unintentional," Euphemia said, feeling a bit bad for him.

"I'm a man of honor. I will take responsibility for your virtue, Euphee," Lucien said looking at her earnestly.

Euphemia couldn't help but crack a smile.
