A month have passed after the ball, everything went back to the normal state as before except for the demeanor of a fair blonde lady playing her piano in the confines of her room.

Glen's Pov

"Kyla? Can i ask you something?", Kyla was about to descend the stairs when I sought her.

I heard her laugh but she didn't even glanced at me as she continued on her way down. " Glen that serious tone of yours won't change my mind and for the last time, I don't want anything to do with Miss Duarte". Okay I'll give her that . I've been asking her to meet with Madison. Miss Madison Duarte, the daughter of the prime minister of Mexico which Kyla has mistaken for a server during the ball. But she wouldn't let me take her, saying that I'm just making her meet Madison for my own amusent. Can anybody tell me how absurd that sounds?

" Kyla! I'm hurt of your accusations", feigning hurt, finally catching up to her. " But I'm not asking you for that now, but we will definitely talk about that later". I said grinning. Kyla is heading to the kitchen with me trailing behind. " I'm amused you have other things on your mind Glen", She said giggling.

" Wha hulo miss, sir! Starting the morning with your usual bickers, i see. Care for an apple pie ?", our cook Miss Jane Edwood offered enthusiastically. We all call her Janey, she has been with us since Kyla's mama left to tend her family in South Georgia. My parents gave Kyla full privileges if she wants to visit her family. We often come with her when she goes for a visit and every time when we come home, our carraige would be full of produce that we have to give some of it to our neighbors, so it would not go to waste. And her Mama can make this apple pie that you'd die to have for more. Luckily, with some persuasions and pleading by us she gave the recipe to Janey, for our sake of course. Janey is a great cook but Kyla's mama make the best apple pie.

" You don't have to ask Janey!" i said while she hand over the platter with a slice of apple pie. She hands Kyla a slice too who has a big smile on her face. I told you it was the best-ever-pie. We were silent for five minutes relishing this sweet goodness as we sat on our stools

" So." Janey started while wiping dry some pots on the center table, after giving us a moment. " What y'all been hustling bout before you got here?".

" Oh yes," i said after swallowing, " I was about to ask Kyla something of a serious matter when she started accusing me of negativities". I said chuckling.

Kyla has her eyes close, still savoring her moment. " Kyla? Kyla!". She raised her hand for us to give her a moment. I huffed at her.

She opened her eyes and said in the air. " A great event happened in my mouth".

Janey just shook her head amused with Kyla. " Okay kiddies, I'm going out to get some roots for lunch later and leave you two with your tif".

" As I was saying earlier Kyla, before you got maladjusted ", I said while finishing my pie, " I was about to ask you on what has been happening to Spencer"

Kyla is narrowing her eyes on her pie just like a kid as if to intimidate who is the master of the two, I think she made her point when she took a big chunk from it then gobbled it all up in one bite.

" Kyla. you strange girl", i chuckled at her. " Have you won yet? Is your pie scared enough? "

I saw Kyla roll her eyes at me and I chuckled more, i continued my statement " It seems to me that she has been playing dismal pieces more. Like just a moment ago when I passed her quarter. She's playing again this sombre piece. I want to know what' s up with her. She seems hunky-dory when she's with us but I know that she plays with her feelings. It bothers me that's all." I finished with a serious note as I took the last piece of my pie.

" My my Glen, did not know you had it in you", Kyla teased.

I bowed my head a little bit, then i explained, " Well this is the first time I've heard her play like the way she has consecutively. Before, do you remember when she's not herself she'd always play a gloomy piece but I would not worry much for the next day I'd know everything was all better because she's playing something better. "

I may be a prick but it doesn't mean i'm not concerned.

When I looked at Kyla she's soflty smiling at me with concern in her eyes.

" So do you know what's been happening with Spencer?", I'm embarassed a little bit because I'm not usually like this.

" Don't be embarassed Glen, it's all right." She's still smiling at me. This amuses her. " And this is the first time you have heard her because I think this is the first time that she have fallen for someone. She told me that she only likes the person but she would not be like this if she only likes the person, Right?".

It shocked me a while there when she told me Spencer might be in love but it does explain the situation as to why Spencer is being the way she has.

" And do you know who is this person who is making her this way?" i asked.

Kyla looked like she didn't want to tell so i told her that it's okay that i would not get mad. But when she told me, " I believe it's the Lieutenant".

I had a moment like i did not know what to do. But I know I'm a little bit furious with the information. I'm protective of my sister even though I do not show it in the most obvious way. I think Kyla Knows what i was thinking because she's rationalizing. " Glen don't get it over your head, I mean, she told me that she likes someone from the ball and all i know that the lieutenant was the only guy she has been with, I do not know if she's in love really. It seems he's a nice chap for her to be like this. I know your only being protective but nothing good will happen if something not good will happen. If you know what I mean."

Kyla is right, nothing good will happen if I begin whining because of that guy. So I'll be a supportive brother for now.

" You are right Kyla, i'll be good for now but if he hurts her in any way I'll have my own with him", I explained.

" Do what you will, good or bad. " I looked at her confusedly, " They haven't seen each other since the ball maybe as to why Spencer is being like this."

We've gotten quiet with contemplation. Then it struck me. " I've got it Kyla!" I shrieked as i stood up from my stool.

" What? What is it?", she kept on asking. While helping herself on a second slice of the heavenly pie. I was about to look at her deviously but stopped when i saw her getting her second piece.

" You might not fit in you corsets when you keep on eating like that kyla", i reminded her with a blank face.

" Shut it. Let me sin for now. Now, what were shrieking about?", as she took another bite.

Oh right, i looked at her deviously " I have a way for them"

" Alright, how will we do that?" taking another bite from the sin she's eating.

" You have to meet with Madison".
