Lydia POV

I went back to work the next day and things went back to normal.

"Ah Lydia come join me for lunch." Edgar said as I opened the door. We sat and ate in silence, I didn't look at him. "Lydia is something wrong?" He touched my hand and had a grin on his face.

"Of course not." I said as I closed my eyes turned my head in the other direction and sticking my nose out. He let go of my hand

"Lydia."

I opened my eyes and looked at him. He put his hand under my chin and tilted it up.

"Lydia have you been crying?" his face was concerned but also teasing as always "Your eyes are all red."

I shook his hand away "What are you talking about? Well anyways I've got to get back to work."

As I got up and walked towards the door, Edgar took hold of my hand

"Edgar what are you—"

"Lydia you're a terrible liar." He pushed me against the wall both of his hands at the side of me. I was trapped, I looked at him with wide eyes. "I heard you went home crying last night." He looked up at me and he took hold of my shoulders. "Lydia"

I looked down, my bangs covering my face "Edgar. I wasn't crying, there was something in my eye that's all." I said with a smile. I pushed him away and walked out the door. Ermine was out in the hallway, she stared at me and I said "uh hello Ermine, please excuse me." For some reason it was hard to look her in the eye. Why why am I feeling this way? Its just Ermine..

Hours passed and it was night time, I went to say goodbye to Edgar

"Edgar I'm leaving for today, goodnight"

"Ah Lydia hold on" he pulled me into a hug but for some reason I didn't enjoy it. My chest was aching again, I pushed him away and glared at him. My emotions took over, Edgar was shocked too. I gripped my chest again to stop the pain but it wouldn't.

Haha she actually said yes!

Why? Why am I remembering that? Stop stop!

"Lydia." His face wasn't mad nor confused "This isn't good for our relationship, tell me whats going on." He bent down and brushed my hair and I got confused. Why was I acting this way? Its not like i have feelings for him, he already has a lover.

"Stop playing, Ermine will get mad."

"Ermine? Lydia is this why you've been acting more coldy towards me?"

"She's your lover you should stay loyal to her and stop fooling with me."

"Ouch Lydia, there is nothing going on between me and Ermine" Edgar looked away from me

"We are engaged remember?" he took a step towards me and i took a step back

"That's wasn't real, I only accepted the ring to get away from Kelpie."

We didn't speak or look at eachother, so I turned and walked away. I was getting tired of this, tired of feeling hurt again.

Edgar POV

"Lord Edgar." Ermine looked at me beautifully, I walked to her and pulled her into a hug

"Ermine…" I whispered into her ear, we stood there in eachothers arms for a long time and suddenly an image of Lydia appeared in my head. I let go of Ermine and she looked at me puzzled. Then she kissed me and I kissed her back wrapping my arms around her waist.

"My lord it's getting late" Ermine pulled away and looked me in the eyes.

"Your right, that's enough for today.." I left the room

Lydia

the image of her sad face popped into my mind as I fell asleep.

"Edgar" Lydia said, she looked frantic and looked as if she were to cry, I wanted to hold her but when I stepped forward she stepped back looking away from me. Her arms clasped together at my chest and a tear rolled down her eye.

"Lydia? Whats wrong? Lydia!" I said as she turned her back towards me and ran into the house

"Lord Edgar" said Ermine from behind, she smiled at me then kissed me passionately. She pulled away and turned and walked back.

"Ermine!"

I saw Lydia in the window, she didn't look hurt she didn't have an expression. When she noticed me looking at her she turned and left. "Lydia…"

I woke up startled. Ahh it was just a dream
