He turns back to face me and I immediately drag out my dagger placing it in front of his throat. Unfortunately for me, he thought to do the same with his own silver dagger.
He looks in my eyes and smirks. "Well won't you look at that?" He says, not...

Ashton currently sits next to me on the couch we have moved to the entrance, facing the front door. It's currently 12:07am and Nathaniel hasn't returned Red. Ashton can barely keep his eyes open. He's leaned back with his right foot resting on his left knee.
I'm sitting with my legs crossed as well, right knee over the left. We hear shuffling outside the door along with frantic whispers. Finally, the door opens slowly and two heads pop in. Nathan at the top and Red on the bottom.
"Oh, hey there guys," Red greets shyly while opening the door fully. "Thought you'd be in bed by now."
"You thought wrong. What do you call this? Coming back at this hour." I scold while pointing at the wall clock in the living room.
"It's 12:10am." Red answers. This woman.
"I know it's 12:10am, my question is why we're you still out past midnight, a.k.a your curfew, a.k.a the time I told you," I point at Nathan. "To have her back by."
Red and Nathan look at each other and then back at me. "We went to the rooftop and ate so much food."
Dangerous but okay.
"We also went to the cat cafe. I saw Rocky and his gang."
I nod my head with my arms crossed in front of me. I love this. I'll be an excellent father.
"She had fun. I treated her well," Nathan adds and faces Red. "Right?" He whispers.
Red faces him and gives him a large smile. "The best date I've ever been on." She reassures him.
"Probably the only date you've ever been on." I interrupt to crush their happiness.
Red nudges Nathaniel inside, closes the door, and grabs his hand, intertwining their fingers. "Nope! I've been on a date before with Zamora. My ex-girlfriend. We dated when we were kids, I was around 12 years old. Didn't work out though cause she's a siren and kinda needed to live underwater for the majority of her life unless she chilled in a wheelbarrow like how they do at the castle events, you guys know how people push around mermaids and sea creatures so they can be included," Red begins to move her hands like she's holding a wheelbarrow. "Well except Carl since he can't fit in one."
"Oh, hey guys!" Ashton greets them and rubs the sleep out of his eyes.
"Hey Ash."
"How was the date?"
"It was so cute, he took me to the cat cafe to see Rocky and the gang, then he took me on the rooftop of his apartment building where we ate human snacks and played with a kids toy." Red sticks her hand in Nathaniel's coat pocket and pulls out small pieces of paper. "We made these abominations."
