Leo flicked the light of the cabin's study on. The room was very spacious, with little furniture
scattered here and there. In the middle of the room sat a huge fireplace, and in front of the
fireplace a black couch. To the left of the couch was a matching arm chair.
He went to sit on the couch but froze as Jean wrapped her arms around his waist. He was a little
concerned at her advances, since it was obvious the cause was the alcohol she had drunk. He
turned to face her. She grinned as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly.
Leo really didn't know how to react. He enjoyed the kiss immensely but he wondered if Jean
would be acting this way if she wasn't drunk. He gently pushed her away as Lemina and Ronfar
walked in. Lemina was latched onto Ronfar's arm and had a look of complete bliss. Ronfar sat in
the armchair and pulled Lemina down to sit with him. She giggled as she landed on his lap.
Leo didn't approve but chose to say nothing. It really wasn't his choice what they did. Jean went
over to the couch and he sat beside her, staring at the fire. He smiled a little as she snuggled
closer to him. "One thing I can say about you is you are affectionate" he murmured.
She looked up to him. "I wish I could say the same to you. You haven't made one move on me
yet."
He raised an eyebrow to that. "You want me to put the moves on you?"
"Well, I just want you to show some interest in me" she pouted. "Just look at Ronfar and
Lemina!"
"Er . . . I'd rather not."
Jean gave a little laugh before suddenly standing up. "I know what will make you more
comfortable. More champagne! I'll be right back."
As she left, Leo couldn't help but let his sight wander to where the other to were sitting. Seeing
that they weren't in the chair, he let his eyes wander some more in search of them. He was
shocked when he saw them making their way to Ronfar's room.
"Where are you guys going?"
Ronfar turned to his friend and grinned. "Isn't it obvious?" Lemina who was hanging on
Ronfar's arm giggled. "We're going to have a super duper mega fun time!"
Leo's brow wrinkled as he frowned. "Ronfar . . . you can't do this. Don't do this to yourself and
don't do it to Lemina. You and Mauri just broke up . . . "
"What does that have to do with anything? Lemina and I both are capable of making our own
decisions. So just leave us alone." And with that, they continued off on their own.
It wasn't long after that Jean returned with the champagne and two glasses. "Where's Lemina
and Ronfar?"
"It doesn't matter." Jean sensed something was wrong but decided not to push for more
information. She sat down and filled each glass, then handed onto Leo. He downed it in one
quick motion.

Leo couldn't believe how good he felt. He had never really drank before tonight and found it
completely wonderful. He smiled as he wrapped his arm around Jean and kissed her.
Jean was also feeling great. For once she felt as though Leo was taking charge of the
relationship instead of her. She wrapped her arms around his neck as the kiss turned deeper.
Leo broke the kiss off and looked at her. "I've never felt more attracted to a woman then you
Jean." he whispered.
She blushed and looked away. The way he was looking at her made her nervous. She decided.
to change the subject. "I'm kind of tired. Maybe we should go to bed." She immediately realized
how bad that sounded and turned crimson. Leo just laughed.
"Don't worry I don't make love to women after the first date." He smiled and took her hand as
they stood up. "I do escort them to their room however."
They were silent as they climbed the stairs. When they were in front of Jean's room, they turned
to each other. Jean put a hand on his face.
"Thank you so much for everything. It was the most fun I've had in a long time."
He nodded. "It was my pleasure." He took the hand off of his face and kissed it. Jean felt her
heart beat speed up and almost invited him into her room but decided against it.
"I'll see you tomorrow." She walked into her room and closed the door behind her, letting a sigh
of bliss escape her lips. "What a night . . . "

The morning sunlight came way to fast, or at least that's what Lemina though. All she noticed at
the moment was the bright sun and her splitting headache. She rolled over in an attempt to get
comfortable, only to find herself next to a large masculine body. She gasped as she recognized
him.
"Ronfar?" Her voice was almost inaudible as she tried to remember the events of yesterday. 'I
remember going out to dinner. Afterward . . . what did happen afterward?' She strained to
remember but her train of thought was broken as a hand snaked around her.
"Good morning." Ronfar pulled her closer to him to give her a kiss. She pulled away.
"Ronfar, what happened last night? I mean I know what happened but why?"
"Why not?" He again attempted to kiss her but in frustration she pushed him away. "Aren't you
listening?" she snapped.
He sat up. "Yes I'm listening! What do you want me to tell you? Yes we hooked up last night.
If I knew you were going to be such a baby about it I would have never of done it!" He turned
away from her as he began to put on his clothes.
Lemina couldn't help the tears that suddenly were appearing. She curled up and buried her head
in the sheets, hoping he would just go away. She gave an involuntary sniffle, which Ronfar
instantly noticed. He put a hand on her shoulder but she shrank away. When she spoke, her
voice was small and broken.
"Don't touch me. "Don't even look at me ever again."
"Lemina I'm sorry–"
She sat up. "No you're not. You . . . you use women all the time. I just was too stupid to realize
I was one of those women."
"Don't say that."
"Why? It's true, isn't it? Are you saying that you didn't take advantage of me?"
He winced at that. "That was never my intention. I just thought you wanted to."
"I didn't." She laid bake down and covered herself all the way up. "Go . . . please?" There was
a crack in her voice that showed she was on the verge of tears. Ronfar gathered his shirt off of
the floor and left the room, quietly closing the door on his way out. He stood in the hallway and
pulled on his shirt, feeling more guilty then he had in a while. Finally he made his way downstairs,
where Jean and Leo were already eating breakfast.
Jean looked up from her cereal. "Hi Ronfar. Where's Lemina?"
He looked at the floor. "She's still laying down. Listen I think I'm going to go back to Raculi
now. Since Mauri and me broke up I have to start moving my stuff out."
Leo knew exactly what was going on but didn't say anything about it. "Well I'll see you later
then." The gambler gave a curt nod before making his way to the door. Jean turned to Leo.
"What's going on?"
"What do you mean?"
She rolled her eyes. "Oh come on. They disappeared last night, Lemina's still not here and
Ronfar's just all of the sudden leaving? He didn't even take his things!"
Leo gave a sigh. "I'm pretty sure that uh . . . that they were together last night."
Jean understood very quickly. "Oh no . . . poor Lemina. She was so drunk last night she didn't
know what she was doing. Do you think I should go check up on her?"
"That's probably a good idea. "I'll clean up and you go talk to her."
Jean gave him a quick kiss before making her way to Ronfar's room. She could only imagine
what emotions Lemina was going through.
