"We should do this again sometime" Hector told Althea
"Yes" Althea reply it was amazing how quickly her shyness disappear, Hector was surprise of her answer he smile to himself

He was all smiles when he saw that she clean the room then he remember the money and check it was still where he left it haven't been touch her finding the money wasn't Hector's problem but the suspicion she might get was he wasn't ready to reveal who he was just yet,
After dinner it was Hector's job to do the dishes then they play poker they both played such a bad game send taiga off to bed rejoicing of the many games he won Hector didn't have to invite Althea down tonight soon as she came from the room she was pulling him down that way, they spend the night in the comfort of each other and as he ask her to she wake him before she leave,
