"Anyone home?" Jonas called as he walked into the wrights sitting room. Becca, the chief servant came out "Oh sir Jonas, miss Delancy isn't home yet but madam Avery is at the mini sitting room."
"Okay, thank you." he said and left to where Avery was.

"Hey there sweetheart!" Jonas said as he entered the room. Avery who was sitting with loads of files on the chair beside her looked up. "Jonas, how are you dear?"
"I'm doing just fine, I just miss my Ava," he said. "You're here again with your sugar coated mouth." Avery said. 
Jonas laughed "I'm not joking, I miss you."
"Oh shut up." Avery said.

Jonas sat on a chair, flipped through the pages of a book. "I'll be leaving to Miami this evening and I want Delancy to accompany me to the airport, I didn't tell her about it until this morning."
"Oh really, what are you going to do there?" she asked.
"Just to meet some clients and go for a day seminar." he replied. "Okay, are you staying at a hotel or do you have a place to stay?" Avery asked.
"Of course an hotel, my families there are something else." Jonas replied. "I've got a pent house not too far from the Balliol's hotel, you can stay there, at least that will reduce the expenses." Avery said.

"Thank you very much Ava, I really appreciate it."
"You're welcome."
"Yes, how's the wedding preparation going?" he asked. Avery eyes lit up like she was the bride. "It's okay, Pilar the wedding planner is doing her job, about Delancy dressings I'm taking care of that. Wait, I'll be back, I need to check if she's got anything for herself."
"Okay."

Avery stood up and went to Delancy's room, she checked the bed, the cupboards, then she went to her wardrobe. She found some new dresses and shoes but what caught her attention was the glass shoes hidden well between some clothes in the wardrobe.

"What's this?" she said to herself. Why of all things will Delancy buy this old model, probably a 1800s glass shoes. "There's no way she'll think I'll let her put this on for the wedding." Avery said as she stormed into the sitting room holding the shoes.

Jonas looked up from the book he was reading and saw the glass shoes with Avery. Now he had to play smart so Avery won't break those shoes right in front of him. "What's that?" he asked. "These old model glass shoes! If she wanted a glass shoe she should have asked not these!"
"Let me have a look." Jonas said and collected the shoes carefully from Avery.

"I just hope this girl wouldn't be the cause of my death like her father's." Avery said. "Ava!" Jonas yelled. "What?!" she yelled back and stormed out of the room. Jonas shook his head and took the shoes to Delancy's room. He kept it in her wardrobe and went to meet Avery.
He saw her in her room "Ava." he called. "I know what you're going to say, I was just mad. That's it. There's no problem, it's fine now but I'm not going to allow her put on that shoe."
He sighed "Okay, don't quarrel with her please, for my sake."
Avery frowned at him. "Fine!"

"You two know each other?" Amber asked on behalf of everyone as they were all confused. Delancy and Zak who has been staring at each other finally came to their right minds. "Yes, I met her at Tony's store, but it's good now I'll get to know her better." Zak said. "I'll be back, I need to do something." he smiled at the family and went up to his room.

Delancy just shrugged and said "He's right, we met at a store, Anyways I'll be on my way now. I'll be here tomorrow by 12pm."
"Okay, Goodbye my dear." Grandma Patty said. Everyone said goodbye to her and she left the house. Grandma Patty whispered to Tristan "I ship them." Tristan laughed and whispered back "But she's engaged."
"Have you forgotten my story with Bernard?" Grandma Patty said. "Oh that, you think they can be like yours and Bernard's story?"
"They sure can be."

"Do we have any mail today?" Avery asked the gatekeeper. "Yes ma'am, Two for you and one for miss Delancy." he said.
"Okay."
She collected the letters and checked hers, one from the orphanage and the other from "Aunt Morti!" she gasped.
