"Whoa!" She put a hand against his mouth. "Where is this coming from? That is not going to happen."
"Very well." Mifa felt him smirk against her palm and he pulled away. "I thought that we had made progress last night."
As soon as he had left the room, she sighed in relief. "What have I gotten myself into?"

Mifa tossed the book to the table and leaned her head against the back of the chair. A sound caught her attention and she looked to the window. The place she had chosen to sit overlooked the corner of the garden that housed Lucas's cat and the feline was hissing at something she couldn't see. The teenage girl jumped up with a smile. Something to do. Running to her room, she threw on her cloak and headed for the garden.
The cat was all puffed out and spitting at something under one of the bushes.
