"Hello, this is Hizuri Kuon speaking. I would like to order your most beautiful bouquet of flowers you have at the moment, money is no object and have them delivered to..." Lory smiled as Kuon rattled off the address he knew to be Kanae's apartment. So Kyoko would be getting her distance he thought with a smile, and knowing that Kanae had a large family she would have seen baby swings before he was sure. So Kyoko was in good hands, now he just had to deal with the confused, worried and anxious father to be. Maybe he would hint on Kuon calling Kuu. A good father-son chat was just what the doctor ordered he decided as he watched the young man setting up his elaborate apology.

OH how fun this is going to be. He mused as Kuon called up Kyoko's favourite bakery to order fresh cakes to be sent to Kanae's address also.

It was Kanae that opened the door that evening. Grinning she looked at the stupidly large flower arrangement before her.

"Is this for Mrs. Hizuri?" she asked with a big grin as a man appeared beside her, fighting his way past the arrangement to hand her the paperwork.

"Yes ma'am." he said as she signed the paperwork he handed her, with a grin still plastered on her face.

"Would you mind ever so much bringing it into the lounge for me?" she asked, batting her lashes slightly as the young man puffed out his chest and gave orders. The arrangement had to be lifted and carefully carried through into the lounge and placed on the floor before the display cabinet. She smiled at the three men it had taken to carry the arrangement as she thanked them. They bowed and left.

"Kyoko, you can come out now, it wasn't Kuon." she called as her bathroom door opened slowly and her best friend slowly walked back into the lounge.

"Phew I really thought..." Kyoko's words died on her lips as she looked at the large extravagant flower arrangement before her.

"Please tell me they are for you?" Kyoko said as she looked at the beautiful flowers in awe. She said this but really deep inside she had a yearning hope they weren't for Kanae. Kanae never answered but passed Kyoko the card that had come with the flowers. Walking out of the room and to the kitchen she left Kyoko alone.

Kyoko was just about to open the card as the doorbell rang again.

"Kanae!" she squealed dropping the card and running full pelt back to the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Kanae had just caught her friends heels disappearing into the bathroom as she shook her head and sighed. Walking to the door, she looked through the spy hole and pulled it open.

"Hello." she said politely to the young girl before her who froze when the actress spoke, almost dropping her burden.

"Ermmm …...Erm...Mrs. Hizuri-sama?" Kanae smiled at the stuttering girl before her. She wasn't always recognised but she had received this reaction before, smiling whilst thinking she was going to kill Kuon for giving her address out to these shops. Even if she was in a secure building complex, this wasn't good.

"She's just inside, do you have a delivery for us?" Kanae asked hoping to get this over with as the girl just nodded and handed across the 3 pastry boxes as she continued to stare at Kanae.

"Do I need to sign?" she questioned, trying not to let her irritation show as the girl again nodded and handed over the small clipboard from her back pocket. Kanae found Kyoko's name and signed in her place as finally the girl seemed to realise what was happening.

"Would you?" the girl was holding out another book, looking to be her own small private notebook. Kanae took it from her and smiled, the name on the girls badge read Mimi so she addressed the paper to Mimi and signed it swiftly, passing it back to the young girl.
