I don't know what I'm writing anymore! So, this is going to be random from here on. To Yuna Gasai-san: Eh? Wow, thanks so much! I'll work harder next time.
Elizabeth sighed. Much as she wanted to deny it, her days nowadays were as much a mayhem as the jumbled faces of a Rubik's cube, and her steady recovery only further alleviated this pandemonium. For once, she had been reading her diary for recurrently, and had noticed countless embarrassing incidents due to which she hadn't been able to face Ciel properly. She was becoming exceedingly self-conscious and discomfited. She looked out of the window and saw the falling, flaming autumn leaves. Young, elegant ladies sashayed fluidly and happily down the street. In a fortnight, the doctor had predicted that she would be almost wholly cured, and would remember her former self and would be normal. But this was not a novel where someone gets inflicted of an incurable disease and then viola! gets normal again (like Heidi or What Katy did) . She did not regain her reminiscences.
"We're coming in!" Ciel said in a sing-song manner, with a smile. Sebastian was wearing his usual clothes in spite of it being windy and cold outside. Ciel wore an additional coat.
"Who allowed you to come in?" Lizzy asked, annoyed. She had a tick mark and her fists were clenched.
"It's only fair. You've visited my estate twice", Ciel iterated. She blushed and looked away.
"Ohoho~", Sebastian laughed and continued," My lady is blushing."
"I just came back from a walk, you know", she added rather haughtily. She took a cup of earl gray tea and didn't bother to offer it to Ciel or Sebastian.
"What would you like?" Paula asked Ciel and his butler.
Ciel looked intently at his fiancée. "Umm...I'll have what Lizzy takes."
"I'll take what Master takes", Sebastian concurred.
"Well, then. Excuse me for a while", saying so, Paula left the three alone.
"So...", Elizabeth began.
"So, when is our marriage?" Ciel joked. Sebastian assumed a knowing air.
"Sumi Masen (excuse me)", Elizabeth exulted, folding her arms and running up the stairs.
'You called me?" she solicited impatiently to her mother.
"You shouldn't talk to your mother in such a tone", her mother advised.
"Why did you call me? What is it?" she asked, enthused in a pretentious tone. Her mother feigned ignorance and notified, "What do you think about Ciel?"
"Hmmm...", Elizabeth thought. It was a tricky question and could backfire on her. But by probability, if she said she was unsure, it would be relatively safe.
"Come, sit here", Mrs. Midford cooed. Elizabeth reticently sat down next to her mother.
"Don't be so cold", her mother exhorted, almost whispering.
Elizabeth's eyes widened as she petted her, stroking her head lovingly.
"I want to find you someone- who can both live up to our family prestige and who can take care of you, for the rest of your life like we cannot".
"You think Ciel might", she guessed.
"So you've thought of this?" her mother alleviated, amused.
"Welllll...no, I don't want to marry him."
"You sure?" she posed, incredulous.
"Course", Lizzy assured, confident and beaming.
Lizzy ran down the stairs and then momentarily paused. There was no Ciel or Sebastian. She felt her chest constrict and a weird aching in her heart.
She stopped before the calendar, shocked.
"Valentines' day", it read, with a huge red, circle brimming with love and courtship.
Note: Sorry for the extremely short chapter, ne? Please review, it'll make me happy! :)
I love y'all!
