Aria's Pov

Sitting in the car after a grueling 2 hours of sitting in a plane had me going a little insane. 

I had slept the whole way back in the plane but at the most awkwardly possible position known to man. I grimaced as I stretched my hand out. 

I lent my head back against the head rest and sighed. 

I thought back to the hour before we had left The Rousseau mansion. When I had  placed the Hyacinth on top of Sunny's grave. 

It was the first time that I had placed a purple hyacinth on someone who I had not killed. Yet here I was the same amount of guilt coursing through my veins. 

It was futile. Every attempt I had to console myself. 

But then I thought of him. 

Leo. When Aiden had asked me if I wanted to stay with him and he had collapsed onto the floor. I knew then. 

I could never let him go. 

So that was why I had politely declined and told him that for now, where I was, was where I wanted to be. 

I don't know what was going through Leo's head, I still have no idea, but he looked broken. I knew he wouldn't want anyone to see him in that state and so that was why I had taken my jacket and covered his face. 

But I don't know why I had hugged him. 

I don't know why I so desperately wanted to hug him. 

Hell, I mean I don't even know if he remembered me even kissing him. 

I shook my head. At least I could have that memory. The only memory that I would perhaps have of us, since he's made it clear that it isn't what he wants. 

The car drew to a halt and stopped and once I looked around I noticed we had already completed the half an hour journey back to The House Of Cards. 

Well at least I could fill Venus in about the whole gossip. 

And the food. The food would be as good as ever. That was all I needed anyways. Food and gossip. 

I opened the door of the car and slowly clambered out. The steps of the mansion were like 3 minuets away from me and I scowled. 

Stupid driver. 

I mean, come on! 

He could have just driven 1 foot more and I would have been right at the fucking steps. I hate walking.  

I grumbled to myself about the drastic inconvenience that the stupid driver had given me in this life. 

When I heard some equally stupid individual scream my name at the top of his fucking lungs, I swear he nearly broke my eardrums.
