Who's Cooking?

That was what Dante said before he cut their communication. Putting two and two together, Laina quickly walked into the living room just as the doorbell rang. 

She hurried over and opened the door. Unsurprisingly, there he was. 

"I didn't mean right this moment," Laina could not help but laugh as she let him in. 

"I could just turn to leave..." as he spoke, Dante turned around and walked out of the door. 

Laina grabbed hold of the collar of his shirt and pulled him back into the house. She closed the door behind him. 

"Did I say you could leave?" Laina asked with her arms crossed. 

On the outside, both of them heard a yelp, followed by a cry of pain. 

"That voice..." 

Before Laina could react, Margaret came down the stairs. She had heard the commotion and came to see what was happening. 

"Ah Dante, you're here. Is Marius with you?" Margaret asked.
