The next morning at the Winchester house Raymond wakes up  in the morning and went looking for Jonathan, but he was not in the mansion. so he went to the cabin, there he was shirtless, kicking and punching the hay dummy.

"good morning brother"

Jonathan just looked at him with his side eye and kept practicing with the dummy.

"are you ok? are mad about something?"

He stopped what he was doing. "can you retire from the courtship?"

"what?"

"I just" he seems struggling with his words "I cant bare the idea of you spending time with Emilia, yesterday was horrible, I couldn't relax, at all"

"Brother, we already talked about this"

"I know, but, I just, I am very much in love with her"

"me too"

"really?"

"yes, I respect what you are feeling, but you have to count my feelings too"

Jonathan looks down and takes a deep breath. "fine, I guess I have to work harder" He grabs his shirt from the table and puts it on

"where are you going?"

"I'm seeing Emilia, today is my day" He said leaving the cabin

Jonathan takes a bath, changes clothes and went to Emilia's house. Emila went down to see him, she opens the door.

"good morning" she says

"good morning My lady, our carriage is waiting"

"you two are really good at this huh?" she walks and enters the carriage

The carriage started moving.

"so where are we going?"

"do you ever think of the future?"

"yes of course, why?"

"ok well, how do you picture yourself in like, lets say 5 years"

"well, I always wanted too study something, anything really, all my life all I been learning is how to be a good wife and mother, but there have to be more out there"

"well my lady, there is a vast world out there for you, I want it to be yours"

The carriage stops. Jonathan opens the door and went out, he extends his hand for Emilia to take. She went out,  when she sees they are in front of a huge abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. It had a beautiful lake on the back.

"where are we?"

"this could be our home, at least one of them, I'm  planning to buy a house on each corner of the world, when we are bored of one place, just move to another, and you can study anything you want on each place"

"that sounds incredible"

"yes I know"

"but Jonathan, I just don't feel like I will be able to choose"

Jonathan walks to Emilia, he puts one hand on her face. "I will do my very best to show you, why you should choose me, I love you Emilia"

"how do you know that?"

"each morning when I wake up my only desire is too see your face"

"only that?"

"and among other things that I wont go in detail"

"You are incredible"

"come on, lets look inside"

They went in and saw every room, walked the gardens and went to the lake. After that they went back. Jonathan  left Emilia in her house and went to his. When he got in, he saw police man leaving his father study. He fast walked in.
