During dinner Peter watched Moria. He was again overwhelmed with feelings.
But these feelings were different.
He looked around at the Lost Boys and suddenly felt jealous. He didn't know why but he was jealous of the attention Moria gave them.
He suddenly wanted them all to leave. He wanted her all to himself. Wanted to hold her in his arms and never let her go, never let her pay attention to anyone but him. Never. He shook his head and the feelings faded.
He looked at her from across the table and she seemed to be glowing with joy as Whirly sat on her lap. He smiled. She was happy.
He could tell that she loved having the boys around. he wouldn't take them from her. They were part of the family too. No matter how much he wanted her all to himself he knew that the Lost Boys were always going to be there.
Then the feelings from before arose. He remembered how he'd felt when she was telling the story of Huck Finn. He remembered his plan to ask her about her feelings. He set it in his mind again to ask her after dinner. He had to make up a plan to get her all to himself.
"After dinner I'm taking mother to see the stars." Peter said suddenly. The boys all looked at him.
"After she tucks you in." he said.
"So right after dinner you're all to go to bed." Peter said.
"Yes father." The boys said. Peter nodded then continued to eat his dinner.
He felt that Moria was looking at him. He glanced up and she flashed him a quick smile. He returned it then went back to his meal.

He was trying to get her alone. She could tell. She was yelping for joy inside. She could feel her skin burn as she blushed. Thoughts ran through her mind.
Why did he want her alone?
What did he want to ask her?
Her mind raced. She knew she had things to ask him. Things she had to know. She looked up at him from time to time as the meal went on. A smile ever present on her face.
