" 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.

"Is there anything you're not telling me?" I say looking at the little boy and wiggling my eyebrows.

He simply giggles that excited giggle of his and he walks up to sit on my lap.

"I knew the bad person was going to be here today?"

"How did you know about that?" I say looking at him and he simply shrugs his shoulders.

"The bad person deserves to be slapped, slap him".

Why is he oddly insistent that I slap Lucas.

He seriously sounds like he wants me to slap Lucas and I am subtly laughing at this. I am subtly laughing at this as the boy simply closes his eyes, a satisfied look on his face as he rests on my chest.

Adrian is looking at us fondly, Alice is looking at us fondly Arden is looking like she could do so many things to Lucas, so many things with only a fork in her hands. You can practically see the predatory gaze that is in her eyes and I have to look at her, and implore her to please calm down.

Lucas is very stupid, he is very very stupid to even be here.

"Do you have anything else to say?" I say looking at him and he shakes his head.

"You can still come back with me you know" he says and I have to cock an eyebrow up at him.

"What would give you the notion that i wanted to come back with you"

"No matter what they might be offering you now, I can offer you more". I smile awrily.

His look is honest, he is looking oddly honest and I am laughing so so hard internally at this.

"What do you mean by more?" I say, amusement clearly in my tone and you can see him flushing.

You can see him flushing up a very vibrant red at this as he rubs the back of his neck.

"Alright, I'm sorry for what I did earlier. I'm sorry for all the things that I said, you can still come back with me, we can start where we left off"

"Where is your money bag?" I say looking at him and he cocks an eyebrow up at me.

"The pretty girl that you brought to the store to publicly disgrace me?".

He is looking oddly reminiscent and the sorrow on his face is quite fake.

I have to be suprised at this. I have to cock a surprised eyebrow at him because what the heck?.

"She's dead?" I say looking at him and he nods his head.

"Then what are you still doing here, aren't you supposed to still be somewhere else except here?" I say looking at him and he simply smiles.

"Her father left me all of their monetary assets".

I have to roll my eyes at this, I have to roll my eyes at this because I know exactly what he has done, I know exactly what he has done and I have to roll my eyes at this because Lucas is shameless at some point. I feel i do need to slap him.

"You killed her" I say looking at him.
