Dinner Together

"Ashton…" Athena smiled at Ashton awkwardly. 

He just caught her leaving the master's bedroom.

"Hmm. Is dinner ready?" she asked, trying to sound natural.

Ashton closed their gaps and grabbed her shoulders. "What are you doing here? We've been looking for you. We thought something bad happened to you. Do you have Asthma?"

A hint of worry was evident in Ashton's eyes. 

"Oh. I'm sorry. I got lost in the house. My phone's battery is empty. I ended up entering this room hoping to see an electric outlet."

'Gosh, Athena! What a lame excuse. I wonder if Ashton will believe my words or not.'

Ashton just nodded in understanding. "Alright. As long as you are okay. Come. Let's go down. Sasha and Dominique are waiting for us."

He guided her as they descended the stairs.
