★LEONA★

His lips curved into a smile then he began to laugh.

Oh no!

Has he lost it?

God, please let it not be it.

He promised to help me and now he got mad just by hearing of the disappearance of our dear ones. How will I handle my mad fiance and a psychopath Lando? And how will I rescue my people when I don't even know my way around this city?

Oh, Lord! How many tribulations shall I face?

I looked up to the heavens before walking to Dave.

"Are you out of your mind for real? That's why you're laughing right? I heard that's how madness begins but before you start taking your things off, I need to take you back inside so that your parents will lock you..."

"What are you saying Leo? I am not mad." He laughed.

"That's what all mad people say. They claim not to be mad but they are. I'm so sorry. I didn't know this is going to affect you this way." I cried. I can't believe Dave has suddenly gone mad.

"I'm not mad Leo. Now stop crying."

"No, you are! You laughed. Who laughs in a crisis like this? Only mad people."

"No. People laugh when they're fiancee is being funny."

"You see. We just lost our dear ones and you're saying I am being funny? This can only happen when someone is mad."

"Stop saying that I've gone crazy Leona! I'm absolutely fine. Okay, I won't laugh again." He shouted.

"If you are not mad then why were you laughing? What was funny?"

" You. What do you want me to do if not stare at my emotional fiancee cry over nothing? I'm sorry but it was nice seeing you act like this when your brother and the rest are busily snoring in bed now."

"W..what are you saying?" I stammered.

"Cheer up Leo, I was only joking and I'm not mad."

"What? How can you joke about something like this?"

"I'm sorry, now let's go."

"I won't go anywhere until I hear from Raymond."

"Okay fine." He gave me his phone and I quickly dialed Raymond's number.

I eyed Dave dangerously when he didn't pick after the second ring.

"Try again." His voice was low.

I did and Raymond picked with his usual sleepy voice.

"Why are you calling me now Dave? Is something wrong? Is Leonard okay?" He asked and I sighed.

"I wanted to check if you are alright Ray."

"Leo it's you. I'm sorry we have to go. I have somewhere to go tomorrow that's why."

"It's okay. Is Leonard with you?"

"Yes. Fast asleep. I'm happy for you Leo. Congratulations."

"Thanks, Ray. I will be home soon."

"Okay." He hangs up.

I gave the phone back to Dave and tucked my
hair behind my ear. It fell on my face while I was tugging at it.

"Are you okay now?"

"Yes but that was not funny. Please don't do that again."

"I know." He pulled me into his arms. "I wanted to comfort you just like this."
