The Announcement

"what are you starring at?" Roarke asked as he laid lazily on the bed.

"How come I've never seen that before?" Not taking her eyes off the painting, she asked him, pointing her pinky finger at the grey painting on the wall of Roarke's bedroom.

"Doesn't it remind you of something?" He grinned, seeing how intently she was studying it.

"I'm sure this is not the work of Ari though" she joked, shaking her head, "nothing seems to come to mind as I'm looking at it. What is it?"

"It reminds me of you, your eye colour to be precise"

She blushed, "so you bought it?"

"Actually, I've always had it in my bedroom for years but when a certain golden locks witch joined my company who is always pissing off my mood and this painting is the first thing I always set my eyes on whenever I step foot into MY bedroom, pissing me off the more because of the strickling resemblance with her eyes, I had to move it" he confessed with a grin.
