" 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)

I have to say that it angers me that I do not have any money. It angers me that I do not have any money but Adrian is simply spending money and quite extravagantly at that.

I mean five hundred dollars for a simple kiddy meal, what exactly are they putting in the food?.

It's not like they made it with gold or anything.

"Don't you think that you're spending a little bit too much?" I say looking at him and his eyes fly wide open in surprise.

"Should I stop?" He says and Alice simply shoots me a glare.

"Please do not, not now at least, I'm still going to order a lot of things today, and as you know, I do not carry cash around".

She's smiling at him and Arden is simply pinching the bridge of her nose.

"When you start walking a few kilometres you begin panting like you're going to die"

"People aren't supposed to walk a few kilometres, that is what cars were made for".

I smile at this. I smile at the little banter that is going on between them. I smile at the conversation, the bits of a conversation that are happening, these are the moments that feel really golden.

Ercles has simply ignored us, he has simply ignored us and he has focused on his kiddie meal.

For a boy who looks so refined, he consumers his food like he's little wolf.

I'm guessing that he should be hungry, he should be very very hungry and it's like he is.

I'm still sad at what happened to him, I'm still sad at what happened to his dad but yet at the end of the day there's really nothing that we can do is there.

There's really nothing that we can do, so we simply have to live with that fact. I've also lost my parents and I have missed them each and every day. I don't know why but it seems coming out of that place, coming out of that place reminds me of exactly who I am.

I am Aderyn. I am not some murderer, I'm not someone who moves as fast as she did before. I'm simply a girl with no parents and no money in this world.

Well I'm guessing that I should have a lot of money now that Adrian has secured my inheritance have.

He has done so much for me and I want to do something for him too.

I want to do something for him to aid our little quest and make it even faster. He should at least get something for all the trouble he has been through because of me.

"Is there any reason why you aren't talking?" Adrian says looking at me and i cock an eyebrow up at him.

"You're are lost in thought, like literally, you haven't said a word ever since we got here".

I don't know what to do, everyone is looking at me with surprised and confused looks on their faces, only Adrian looks like he actually understand what I'm feeling.
