Time passed quite quickly as Dalila excitedly awaited the dinner they Gould all have together. She cut some flowers to place on the table. She tried to make a composition which would express her feelings, putting in yellow carnations for joy, Casablanca lilies for celebration, red roses for love, red Chrysanthemums for sharing, tuberoses for caring and a few little hollies for domestic happiness. Once satisfied with the arrangement she set the vase on the table. Everything would be perfect. She changed her dress into something a little more formal and began looking for Martin.


Alec spent his time walking around the palace grounds. He avoided people in fear of any responsibilities that might come his way. His thoughts were concentrated on finding good words to say as an apology to Emalyn. They needed to be honest words, but nothing seemed to sound right. As time for diner approached he headed for Emalyn’s bedroom. He knocked gently, “Hey? You there? I came to apologize again. I guess my behaviour wasn’t the greatest back there. Believe me I didn’t mean harm. You can be angry I understand but could we at least try make this meal enjoyable for everyone?” He waited for her reply, unsure if she was even there to hear it.
