As he heard the glass door slide, he was instantly mesmerized as he saw Kate walked over to them. She was wearing a yellow dress which completely literally and figuratively made her glow. Philip can't take his eyes off her as she approached her parents and the Lefeuvres. He heard her greeted them in French which made him conclude that she has been working on her French. And with that every word came out from her mouth made his ears tingle.

Tina took notice of how Philip's watching Kate’s every move. She had always known that Philip has this hidden attraction to Kate. Every time the name Kate pops up in conversation (within that 5 months of being in a relationship) it always made his eyes glow. Accepting this fact was a challenge for Tina, but she knows it was something she has to deal it if she wanted to get into his circle.

As Kate passed by them, observed the man trailing behind her. “He seems cute and looks familiar.” she thought to herself.

Katelynn the moved towards the empty seats in front of them and then greeted Tina with her gleeful smile with hint of sarcasm as in her tone. Tina can't herself but return an awkward smile for that gesture. “You look beautiful Kate.” she said in a reply.

As soon as Jace was introduced, she unconsciously tucked her hair at the back of her ear, flashing him with a smile. “Hi. I think I've seen one of your shows before.” she paused. “It was the summer before school starts. You’re the premier danseur in Giselle right?” She leaned on the table making her breasts almost pop up from her clothes.

Embarassed of the sight, Jace just gave her a nod. "You were really good." Tina complimented him. She propped back to her seat observing how Jace and Kate look good together.

This was indeed a very awkward situation for Philip. The incident at the party when the two first met came rushing over him. He sensed the awkwardness between the and just hopes that nothing similar will happen within the duration of the stay. Moreover, he also noticed Tina was subtly flirting with Jace which made him jealous and annoyed. He just grabbed another toast from the basket and took a strong bite.

Almost biting his tongue, Philip was startled as he soon as Laura spoke. "Oh Katelynn sweetheart, Madelaine came of with the wonderful idea of us possibly seeing a small performance from you two. Its been so long since I have seen you dance and it would be wonderful to see."

Kate smiled nodding, "Sure mother...I can show you something from the last dance recital we had."

As soon as everyone has finished eating breakfast, Tina interrupted them.“I’m sorry Kate. I don’t think I’ll be able watch. I was up all night preparing for the flight.” she said standing up from her chair. “It’s nice meeting everyone. I guess I’ll see you all later.”

In response, Philip stood up from his chair. “I’ll be back.” He then followed Tina and showed her to his room.

Upon hearing the door close behind them, Tina sat down on the bed casually inviting Philip. However, he just stood her and watched her warily. “Don’t give me that look, Philip!” she blurted out.

“You’re the one who’s flirting with Jace!” Philip raised a tone.

“You’re the one who’s been watching Kate the very time she stepped out of the house! God knows what you do when the two of you are alone.” she said in reply. “The least thing I want now is a jealous boyfriend who has the every right to flirt with every girl in the world.” she turned away from him and ungracefully climbed on the bed covering her head with one of the pillows. “Please, just let me sleep and stop acting like a jerk.”

Philip clenched his fist and let out a loud groan as he left the room, slamming the door behind him. He treaded towards the Patio trying to erase the thoughts from his mind.

Everyone was already seated on the couches waiting for Philip to join in. As he entered the Patio, Madelaine noticed the grim look on his face which could be result of whatever had happened in his room. Noticing the empty seat beside her, Philip walked towards it and sat indignantly. “Tu vas bien, Philip?” Madelaine asked.

“Ça va” he lied, leaning back on the rest and let out a sigh.
