An Abrupt Trip

It's New Years Eve

After sending videos of the snow and the three-story cabin to her family in which Thyme made sure he was present, Gorya through on her ear muffs, scarf, and coat. Thyme, from the staircase,  observed a determined Gorya. Kaning joined her friend in her actions. "Gorya" He replied. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked, moving closer, staring down at the girl he loved.

Gorya gave him a small smile. "Thyme," She started, "Kaning and I will like to do some sightseeing."

Before Thyme could protest, Gorya hesitantly cupped his head in her warm hands. "Thyme, it means a lot that you saved me. You know that but Kaning and I agreed to do this. You need to stop thinking I'll be in trouble if your not around. Kaning and I both know English well enough. I won't be confined." Thyme glanced down at Gorya. 

Thyme closed his eyes, relishing in Gorya's soft touch. She didn't get it, did she? He is always worried about her and he always will be. Thyme sighed and opened his eyes. "I'll go with you then." He responded. Gorya stared at him, stunned. She tilted her head to the side as she removed her hands from his cheeks. Gorya narrowed her eyes at him. "Thyme-"

Thyme glanced down at her genuinely concerned, interrupting her. Thyme needed to know certain things especially if they involved Gorya. 

"Tell me where you'll be then." Gorya tilted her head to the side, challenging his authority. "Gorya!" He replied when she didn't answer him.  He needed to know something urgently. "Is your ankle better?" He asked. Gorya backed away from him. Thyme was confused. (AN: The sound fx when Gorya corrected Thyme's saying of "Quid Pro Quo" in episode 2 and when Gorya saw the Egg Thyme made in episode 8) Gorya nodded her head. "All better." She replied.

All of a sudden, she pushed him down, her arms clutching his Red and Black houndstooth sweater tightly. "I can still defend myself just fine, Thyme. We'll be going to the Casa Loma now."

Thyme glanced up at Gorya. He was tempted to give in to his affections for her.  

They were so preoccupied they almost missed Kavin throwing on his hat and coat. "You two need to realize MJ and I could hear you a room away." He responded with a smile as he saw his friend on the floor, Gorya straddling Thyme once again. Did Gorya declare war on Thyme again? Kavin took out his phone and captured a picture of them. Gorya got up quickly followed by Thyme who folded his arms over his chest, Gorya placed a palm over her head, closing her eyes. 

When they kept staring at him, Kavin sighed. "You owe me, Thyme, I'll make sure the girls are fine..." Thyme nodded his head. Kavin and Thyme watched as Gorya opened the main door and left. Kavin turned to Thyme, and he smiled. "Besides its new years eve. Don't you have something planned for Gorya tonight?" He remarked as he went to join Kaning and Gorya. Thyme grinned. His friend had a great point. Maybe a romantic dinner for two is what was needed. Where was Ren anyway?

Thyme walked into the kitchen and started prepping for a great romantic dinner for two. He preferred the smaller Kitchen for this. He found Ren reading while sipping his red wine. Ren looked up. "Where's Gorya?" He asked. Thyme started pulling vegetables and meat out of the refrigerator. "She's with Kaning and Kavin doing some sightseeing." He responded. Ren smiled. "And you didn't go with her?" He couldn't believe it!  

Thyme shook his head, taking care of his task at hand. "I wanted to go with her but she had a different idea. Besides, I did want to give Gorya a great New Year's Eve." Ren set his book aside. "Do you want some help?" Ren asked and Thyme smiled. "Yes, out of my Kitchen, Pal." He replied with a grin.

Gorya and Kaning explored Casa Loma, Kavin rolled his eyes and followed the two County Bumpkins. 

Thyme tasted the meal he made. Without a doubt, he had done it again. Gorya had no idea what was coming to her. During the time Gorya, Kaning, and Kavin were out, he placed heaters on the Balcony that had the best view. He set the round table with a red tablecloth and placed two candles on it, he also made sure to set the lights to a dim glow and placed two rolled napkins on the table. Now all he needed was to freshen up and throw on his Black Tuxedo.
