We come back from walking the dogs after about 30 minutes. I have to start off by being honest and my honest opinion is that chasing after dogs has been more of a workout than I've ever done in my life. I swear these dogs are on some drugs or whatever the hell is used for them to be acting up.

Especially the one I was walking, Atticus' one.

Rory and I left all the dogs with Spencer to put away. She grabbed my hand and rushed me inside as soon as we arrived at the mansion. Not much to my surprise, Atticus is no longer sitting on the front porch. Before I know it, she's dragging me into her evil twin's office. 

She doesn't bother to knock, she just barges his door open. He doesn't flinch at the loud and abrupt sound of the door. He is too busy petting his "innocent and adorable" pet bunnies. Yes, the same ones that had attacked me just days before.

He doesn't look up at us when we close the door behind us or sit down in front of him. He just lets his bunnies continue to nibble on his pointer finger. Although from where I stood, it looked like they were sucking on it. 

Currently praying for them.

I quickly turn to look at Rory who is currently throwing daggers at her brother, waiting for him to look at her. She feels my eyes on her and turns to look at me. 

What are we doing here? I send her the message with my mouth, hoping she can lip talk. Thank God she does because she replies, Wait. So I guess I have no other choice but to wait. Rory reaches over from her seat and tugs at Atticus' ear, earning his attention. 

He finally averts attention to the both of us. "Ahh. Rory, Stella. I didn't notice you guys there. I thought I was doing a pretty good job at ignoring you both."

I'm going to strangle this man. 

Doing the opposite of what I expect, Rory smiles at him sweetly. Is this girl on crack?

"Atlas, my dear brother," She starts. Oh, God, I'm assuming she wants something from him. "Have I told you how much I've missed you? It pains me that I have to spend so much time away from my twin, my best fri-"

Ohh, I see what she's doing. She's a smart girl.

"What the fuck do you want, Aurora?" He asks, harshly cutting her off. Damn. Straight to the point already. 

By now, his bunnies had stopped nibbling and sucking on his fingers and were both sat in front of him, facing me. Their big biddy black eyes staring into mine.

Do they really think they can win this staring contest?

I won't stop until I see tears. Preferably blood on their behalf. I'm joking, I love animals so much. Really, I do. Okay, but why the fuck are they looking at me like they are about to kill me? He probably trained them to do that, too.

Rory clearly ignores him and continues with her heartfelt story. "I've missed you so dearly. I've been so lost without my best friend in this world. I truly have hated being away from you. I feel like we've drifted apart. You don't take me anywhere an-" 

Atticus rolls his eyes, "My wallet's on the couch." 

"Which wallet?" Aurora asks, looking around his office.

Okay, yeah. Why don't you just subtly and indirectly rub it in my face about how rich you are.

"Pick one, I don't care," Her brother answers dismissively, focusing his attention on me now. "I don't think they like you." He points out, referring to the soft bunnies currently growling at me. Can they even growl?
