" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

Alright this is new, this is new because why would she want me to bring poisoned food closer to her.

"Well we aren't really sure that it isn't poisoned?" I say looking at her and she says. She sighs and she walks closer to me bending down to sniff the food.

She sniffs it for a moment and she simply smiles to me.

I am shocked and confused because "does poison have any particular smell when it is already in food?" I say looking at her and she shakes her head.

"Don't bother, it really is clean".

Well I'm guessing that's good news in any case, that is good news in any case because it means it is not poisoned, but still.

"How do you know about this?" I say looking at her and she shakes her head.

"Don't ask any questions. I can practically hear your stomach rumbling from where I'm standing".

All right she isn't wrong on this part, she isn't wrong on this part because my stomach is grumbling and I look at the tray of treats in front of me.

Well they aren't really treats because I'm practically sure this thing is a tray of chicken, meats, fish, just almost everything that I could have ever wished to eat.

While eating flesh isn't really my thing I'll make an exception.

For most of the time when I was living with my aunt, i had simply lived on noodles and eggs, sometimes the eggs weren't even there and I had to make do with a cabbage so that I wouldn't get so malnourished but yeah, that isn't the point here.

I grab a chicken lap and I shamelessly rip it apart. Adrian is looking at me surprised, he's looking at me surprise and amused and I smile back at him.

"Don't you like a girl who has appetite?" I say and he smiles. He smiles and his face flushes red immediately when he finally comes to the realisation of what I just said.

Yes I can also be naughty sometimes.

I am seriously engaged in eating, I'm seriously eating when my eyes catch onto something, when my eyes catch on to someone looking at me and I almost choke on what I am guzzling down my throat.

"Why is Ercles here?" I say looking at the both of them and I can see Adrian's eyes fly wide open in a panic.

I can see his eyes fly wide open in a panic as he begins looking around.

The moment his eyes land on the child I'm pretty sure that he wants to bolt away to him.

We both want to bolt to his side but yet the boy is making his way steadily towards us.

He is making his way towards us still in Adrian's oversized shirt and basically no one is paying any attention to him

I'm pretty sure that nobody can see him, well it's not like they can't see him but yet who would expect a child to be in this place?.

Who would expect a child to be in a place filled with such danger??.
