Great... Dorothy plays the piano, has beautiful blond hair, beautiful green eyes, and she comes from a castle in Romania.

Dorothy 1 point, Lucy 1

Dorothy > How about you, Lucy? You're not from Mystery Spell either are you. What was your home like?

> I lived in a small apartment in town, with my parents, nothing palatial, but I liked it.

Dorothy > Why did you leave then?

I suddenly get a lump in my throat. I really don't want to tell her about my parents' death... Peter is silently watching me. His green eyes are soft and warm. Suddenly I feel the need to confide. I have nothing to be ashamed of.

> My parents died in a car accident, I needed to distant myself from it all... Put distance between myself and the tragedy.

They both gaze at me wide-eyed. Peter didn't know either. Strangely I feel better now that it's no longer a secret. It's a part of my life and I have to learn to accept it.

Peter > I... didn't know, I'm really sorry, Lucy.

I feel the sincerity in his eyes and his words warm my heart.

Peter > How can you keep such a love for life after what happened to you? You're even stronger than I thought...

> Oh, I haven't always been so happy, believe me! But I can't stop living... My parents always pushed me forward, encouraged me to move on. I owe them that...

A tear trickles down my cheek silently. Peter approaches his hand and wipes it off with a gentle caress. I smile at him, grateful.

Dorothy > I am sorry, Lucy. It really can't have been easy for you...

She also looks sincere; I thank her with a smile. For a moment, we drink in silence. I realize that I broke the mood. After a while, Peter stands.

Peter > I think it's time we left. Knowing Nicolae, he's up worrying.

I jump at the chance!

> Yes, I'm starting to feel a little tired...

I see Dorothy's eyes darken. The fact that Peter and I live together seems hard to swallow.

Peter > Bye Dorothy, get home safely!

She leans towards him, stands on tiptoe, and lays a delicate kiss on his cheek. I'm speechless, Peter is too! What the hell did she just do? Peter is private property, my private property!

Dorothy > Bye Peter, see you in college! Bye, Lucy!

I can't believe it" The cheek of it. I don't know if people do that sort of thing in Romania, but they don't around here! Annoyed, I fold my arms across my chest. Peter looks at me, amused. He'd better not start too!

> So... you let any girl kiss you, just like that?

He laughs softly. His eyes are teasing and affectionate. Without saying a word he bends over me and lays a delicate kiss on my cheek. Surprised, I open my eyes wide.

Peter > Come on, stop sulking! You're both quits now, right?

How can I resist? I can't help but beam at him like a happy idiot. We slowly head back to the manor. Turns out this evening was a great success, after all! Peter and I are closer than ever and I feel like my heart is going to explode.

Today, like every Sunday. I have to take care of Lorie. I go down to the dining room to have breakfast. The little girl is already up seeming to be waiting for me
